Problem with sponsors, please help

I have a desperate situation and I don’t know how to resolve it. Here is the problem. I’m trying to get a sponsor for event where I will be speaking but the meeting is in another country and I wouldn’t be able to attend due to the reason that I don’t have much money to cover the expenses of the trip. I found several sponsors who agreed to become a sponsor of the speech but only after in person meeting. It’s difficult to say that I have no money to being able to meet with them in person. So if you had a similar situation how would you resolve it? Is there a way or specific websites where I can get a sponsor by speaking on Skype or phone without in person meeting? Thank you for your help!

As describe by your situation the main problem is money for your trip? So as per my opinion

  1. First to convention sponsor to you are real and hard worker and show register no or any legal authorisation if you have.
  2. Or contact any online or social friend or person who you know and live in sponsor country and pay some amount for attend meeting with you sponsor.
  3. Or signed any legal contract or NDA so, sponsor trust you as you are legal.
