We greatly value sponsors for this open event. If you are interested in sponsoring check out our prospectus and drop us an email.


DevOpsDays is a self-organizing conference for practitioners that depends on sponsorships. We do not have vendor booths or sell product presentations. Sponsors have the opportunity to have short elevator pitches during the program and will get recognition on the website and social media before, during and after the event. Sponsors are encouraged to represent themselves by actively participating and engaging with the attendees as peers. Any attendee also has the opportunity to demo products/projects as part of an open space session.


Steel sponsors get dedicated table space where they can interact and share with those interested to come visit during breaks. All attendees are welcome to propose any subject they want during the openspaces, but this is not 'that kind of conference' and heavy marketing will probably work against you when trying to make a good impression on the attendees.


The best thing to do is send engineers to interact with the experts at DevOpsDays on their own terms.

There are also opportunities for exclusive special sponsorships. We'll have sponsors for an evening social and a speakers dinner, with special privileges for the sponsors of these events. If you are interested in special sponsorships or have a creative idea about how you can support the event, send us an email. We have a limited number of "media sponsorships" in which we'll exchange a complimentary ticket for significant promotion in social media, mailing lists, and other appropriate venues. Contact us for more information.

As this is technical conference aimed at devops practitioners, developers, and systems administrators, we recommend that complementary sponsor tickets be used by sponsor-employed technical staff and recruiters, not salespeople. All sponsorfolk are welcome to attend talks and social events.
