I'm not sure what's wrong, is the money somehow tainted? In the all
the events I've organized the sponsors don't have much of a say on
*how* the event is organized, or what is actually said/done at the
event. Just that they want this much space for the stalls, this much
of time on stage, this much of projector space, their name in the
branding etc... not sure it's that much of a problem.

Is your opposition on ideological grounds? Then it's definitely a no-no.
