In addition, one of my favorite sponsorships for usergroups and is non-intrusive. I would find the location which was mostly a bar, lounge or private room with drinks where the meeting takes place. I would have napkins or paper coasters dropped off with my company name and info to the establishment owner or group leader to use for the group meeting which also resulted in happy hour advertising since the bar keep the rest.
