Sponsors of Everything Open have a unique opportunity to globally promote their brand to a large number of influential industry professionals. One of the world’s best free and open source technology conferences, Everything Open is regularly attended by over 300 delegates, more than half of whom attend as Professional Delegates.
Key benefits of sponsoring Everything Open are:
Delegates travel from all over the world for a week of thought provoking keynotes from our internationally recognised invited speakers, high quality presentations and tutorials from the makers of these technologies, and connecting with other delegates in both organised networking sessions and spontaneous encounters in the hallways.
Partnering with us early to sponsor Everything Open 2027 is important. The earlier you sign a sponsorship agreement, and we have a purchase order completed, the more time we have to promote your sponsorship!
All sponsors are acknowledged each day of the conference during the opening session. There are opportunities for special “earlybird” pricing, and multi-year arrangements. If you are interested in contributing to making Everything Open a success, please read on.
Please note that the programme of the conference is strictly independent from sponsorships, it is not possible to score a speaking slot through sponsoring.
From the smallest Fairy Penguin to the mighty Emperor Penguin, we have many options that include a varying amount of exposure around the conference and our numerous communication channels, included Professional Tickets, additional tickets at the early-bird pricing, and even an opportunity to address the delegates during the conference opening or the penguin dinner.
Contribute directly to increasing the diversity of the free and open source technology community by sponsoring our Outreach and Inclusion Programme. This programme reaches out to diverse delegates, from a variety of backgrounds, throughout the community. Outreach and inclusion sponsorship supports delegates from diverse backgrounds who have a significant contribution to make, but would otherwise be unable to attend Everything Open. This year in particular, with our “Building the Future Together” theme, we are looking to reach out to a significant number of people who can make contributions to the ecosystem.
Conference sponsors have the opportunity to contribute in a more targeted way on top of their general sponsorship. There are a number of additional packages available, each with limited availability.
The sponsor will be introduced at the conference as having funded video streaming to delegates. Talks will be uploaded for later viewing by delegates and our wider community, and the video sponsor will have their logo included in the title slide.
Contribute directly to the catering of the conference. Morning and Afternoon Tea breaks as well as Lunches will be catered at EO2027, with your organisation mentioned as the sponsor for the break(s) of your choice.
There may also be a coffee cart, and oh do our attendees love a coffee!
Organisations that make a substantial material contribution to the organisation of the conference are entitled to be listed as in-kind sponsors of the conference. In-kind sponsors will be noted at the opening and closing plenary sessions of the conference, and will have their logo on the Sponsors page on the conference website.
Potential opportunities for in-kind sponsorship include:
Benefits of in-kind sponsorship will be assessed on a case-by-case basis.
