When you say emerging, do you mean newer tech communities where it's harder to find companies to sponsor?
Sometimes when you haven't secured a frequent list of sponsors, it's good to start small and find a venue at no cost (that's a whole conversation in itself) and host meetups until you get consistent attendees coming.
During the introduction of every event I host, I talk about how I am looking for sponsors with a little details on why and what that monetary sponsorship will cover (usually food/beverages). This usually opens up conversations for potential sponsorships. It's important to keep mentioning it, even when attending a conference or meetup, I'm still talking to others about my events and how I am looking for sponsors, and things happen organically over time. :)

What are some ways organizers can seek funding/sponsorship for their events? Especially in emerging developer ecosystems?
