Hi Kushal,
As indicated in the draft, only Platinum sponsors get a *talk slot*,
Gold sponsors get only a *lightning talk slot*, Silver sponsors get an
*openspace slot*, and associate sponsors get a *poster presentation
slot*. We will ensure that schedules and listings published indicate the
sponsored nature of the slot.
We hope these slots will help sponsors better engage with the audience.
The openspace slot and poster presentation slot, is something that we
are introducing this year. Both add benefits to the sponsors without
taking away time from the conference schedule, because both openspaces
and posters can be scaled spatially.
We had first hand experience with doing sponsored posters, at PySangamam
2018. It was well received by both the sponsors and the audience. The
sponsored posters will be especially useful for small startups who want
do an associate sponsor, and we hope it will to a certain extent solve
the problem indicated by Anand in

Hope I have been able to put forward the reasoning behind the sponsored
slots. If you still have concerns, do let us know.
Regards,
Vijay
