Why sponsor us?

+Devopsdays is a worldwide series of technical conferences covering topics of software development, IT infrastructure operations, and the intersection between them. We depend on sponsorship, we are not-for-profit, and the organisers are all working people who are active in the Tech community and passionate about getting DevOps right. We do not sell product presentations, nor will we distribute attendee contact lists.

-All sponsors are encouraged to represent themselves by actively participating and engaging with the attendees as peers. The best thing to do is send engineers to interact with the experts at Devopsdays so you can engage with attendees on their own terms. +Devopsdays is a great opportunity to network and build relationships with highly motivated specialists within the DevOps community; share your lessons learned; promote your brand and recruitment activities; and contribute to important discussions about diversity, burnout, and organisational transformation. All sponsors are encouraged to participate in break-out sessions and generally engage with conference the attendees as peers, heavy marketing typically works against you when trying to make a good impression at devopsdays conferences.

-Attendees are welcome to propose any subject they want for discussion in the Open Spaces portion of the conference, but keep in mind that Devopsdays is a community-focused conference, so heavy marketing will probably work against you when trying to make a good impression on attendees. -
