The Experience is Unique and Extremely Positive

We Expect ~5,000 to Register and Participate

More than 5,000 registered in 2024 from 46 U.S. states and 69 countries – more are expected in 2025. Attendees are highly technical and sophisticated.

You’ll Be In World-Class Company

Each year the top companies and organizations in tech and open source sponsor the event – and we are eternally grateful. We encourage you to join them in 2025 for some tremendous exposure and networking. See a complete list of sponsors from 2024.

100% of Sponsors from 2023 Said They Would Sponsor Again

In an anonymous post-event survey following the 2023 conference, 100% said they would/will sponsor again. The results have always been in the 90%+ range in prior years, but it reached the 100% level for the first time in 2023.

2023 Sponsors Collectively Rated the Event 4.7+ for Experience and ROI

Based on the same post-event survey referenced above, 2023 sponsors collectively rated the event 4.7+ on a scale of 1-5. Again, these surveys were anonymous and constructive criticism was encouraged.

The venue is world-class and structured perfectly

For the 13th year in a row, the Raleigh Convention Center in downtown Raleigh, NC will serve as the host location. It is grand in scale and is structured perfectly to maximize sponsor location and exposure.

We Guarantee Consistent Walk-By Traffic 

Unlike most events, we place sponsor/partner exhibit tables in hallways outside programming rooms instead of a stand-alone exhibit hall. The result… consistent walk-by traffic during the entire conference – and more engagement, leads, badge scans, etc. 

Located in a Global Epicenter of Technology and Open Source Innovation

You’ll be visiting Raleigh and The Research Triangle Park, one of the fastest growing tech centers in the U.S. and the world. Learn more about the location and venue.

Pricing is fair and ROI potential is tremendous

Since 2013 we’ve made it a priority to be fair with pricing and structure costs in a way to maximize ROI. We invite you to compare pricing with other similar technical events.
