Guidelines
The ground rules that keep our events worth attending.
- We are a technical community first — sponsor talks must be substantive, not sales pitches. We will work with you on content.
- We do not sell or share attendee contact information. Lead capture happens via opt-in raffles or QR codes you bring.
- Sponsor branding must comply with our brand guidelines. No flashing visuals, no autoplay audio, no dark patterns.
- We reserve the right to decline sponsors whose products or messaging conflict with the values of the community.
- Exclusivity windows are available within product categories at the Chapter and Global tiers.
- Refunds are available up to 4 weeks before the event; after that, sponsorships can be rescheduled but not refunded.
Where we host
