Partnership & Sponsorship
Sponsorship is about becoming part of the ecosystem.
We work with a deliberately small number of partners per ecosystem so each relationship has room to do real work. Your brand sits inside the community, not outside it. Content is practitioner-led, conversations are peer-driven, engagement is earned.
Most partners stay across multiple years and multiple ecosystems. That continuity is the point.

Why Partner
Defined commitments. No ambiguity about what you get.
This structure replaces unclear sponsorship language with fixed, measurable commitments: defined visibility, defined event access, defined newsletter inclusion, defined speaking allocations, defined passes, and defined reporting.
Senior engineers, architects, platform leaders, heads of engineering, data and AI, and cloud. Decision-makers shaping tooling, architecture, and strategy. 43% of attendees are mid-level practitioners; 15% are Head of or Director level; 7% are C-suite.
Access to senior audiences
CTOs, VPs, Heads of Engineering and practitioner leaders shaping real purchasing and hiring decisions.
Always-on engagement
45+ in-person meetups, 50+ online events and 12 conferences a year. Your brand in the room every month, not just at one event.
Trusted distribution
Your brand sits inside the community. Content is practitioner-led, conversations are peer-driven. Engagement is earned, not bought.
Pipeline, hiring and brand
Qualified pipeline, engineering talent, and category credibility in the ecosystems your customers and future employees already belong to.
One partnership across every ecosystem, community and conference we run.

Sit with senior leaders in the room.
Leaders summits are closed-room formats for senior engineering and technology leaders. No booths at leaders summits, and the 15% vendor cap on the room still holds. Runs at Northern DevOps & Platform Leaders Summit (Leeds, October 20th) and AI Leaders & Operators Summit (Manchester, November 5th).

Media Partnerships
Reach practitioners between events.
Two formats that reach the network week in, week out. Both available as standalone sponsorships or included within partnership tiers.
The Stack
The newsletter
One email. Everything worth knowing across the ecosystem. Sent to 25,000 practitioners across our communities. No engagement bait. No AI-generated roundup of last week's press releases. Written by people who were in the room.
Ecosystem at the Edge
The podcast
The conversations that happen after the talk finishes. Recorded with organisers, practitioners and engineering leaders from across our ecosystems. Many episodes come straight out of our conferences, with speakers who just came off stage and have more to say than the slot allowed.
