Choose the MacBook, the suitcase or both.
Can the stuff we carry help carry the crew?
A MacBook and a suitcase are heading to Slush Week. A sticker on them helps pay for the trip.
Two stickers down. Plenty of room left.
01
The crew
Five people. One week in Helsinki.
A lead and four volunteers, working in Slush’s visual content crew through Slush Week 2026.
It’s a big opportunity for a creative crew. Getting there isn’t free.
02
Why we’re doing it
We’d rather the cost of a week in Helsinki didn’t decide who gets to make the most of it.
Opportunity
Creative talent
Helsinki is expensive
An unconventional media model
Giulia de Oliveira Camargo turned her MacBook into ad space.
I loved it, so I borrowed the idea, pointed it at a crew’s travel costs and brought a suitcase.

Gets us there. Airports, trains, hotel lobbies and everything in between.
Pick a size
You’re backing an experiment. The sticker, the page placement and the campaign content are what you get in return. No impressions, no CPM.
Surface 03 · Wildcard · from €250
Another bit of gear, a new placement, something I haven’t thought of yet. If it’s fun and allowed, I’m in.
* I cannot provide a reliable CPM estimate for the suitcase.

Try it
Go on, stick one on.
Raised so far + your imagination€100
The first €100 is real. Every sticker you add here is €100 I don’t have yet.

What supporters get
What you actually get
01
A sticker on the MacBook, the suitcase, or both.
02
Your logo on this page, and a thank-you when we launch and wrap up.
03
A few short posts about how it goes: sticker on, off we go, how it went.
04
I make all of that myself. The volunteers never work on supporter stuff.
05
It all goes in a one-page agreement. If a sticker can’t come into the venue, you’re still in.
Update
First €100 in
First €100 in.
Future Ready Design and Twenty Twenty Solutions were the first two companies stupid enough to see where this goes.

Where the money goes
Where the money goes
Every euro goes toward getting the five of us to Helsinki and through the week:
01
Travel
02
Somewhere to sleep
03
Getting around
04
Slush Week bits
It’s sponsorship, not a donation, so I invoice it. Raise less? We help where we can. Raise more? We’ll tell you where it goes first.

The people helping us get there
I’m keeping it to a handful of companies that fit, and I’ll pass on direct conflicts.

Who we are
Volunteer Lead · Slush 2026 visual content team
I’m responsible for part of Slush Week’s visual content. This experiment is something I’m running independently alongside that role.
And I just want to help out my fellow volunteers :)

Fine print
The fine print, up front
An independent experiment by Tân Pham, in a personal capacity alongside my Slush role. Not run, sold or endorsed by Slush. Stickers go on my own belongings and follow event and venue rules.
No Slush partnership, no attendee access, no spot in official Slush content, no promised numbers.

Tell me where you want to appear and what you’d like to put in. It’s a request, not a payment: nothing is charged until we’ve agreed.
Prefer email?
What happens next -
1. You send a request.
2. I check it fits and doesn’t clash with Slush partners.
3. You get a short agreement and an invoice. Then your sticker goes on.
