About the Event

Sponsorship is closed for this year.

DjangoCon US is not possible without your support. The spirit of the event focuses on providing a platform for new and experiences speakers to share their stories and knowledge.

Our goal is to keep ticket costs low while providing:

  • Free childcare stipends
  • Opportunity grants
  • A lactation room
  • Meals
  • A centrally located venue
  • Reimbursement for speaker travel and lodging expenses
  • A networking party to start the event.

The DjangoCon US Slack channel currently has 700+ members where attendees get and give advice, discuss Django/Python issues, and all-around support each other, establishing a year-round connection that helps ensure the conference is as welcoming and comfortable as possible.

We promote our sponsors on our @djangocon Twitter account, which has over 18.8K followers. Our tweets are seen around the world.

In the event that a profit is made from our fundraising efforts, we pay it forward by making a donation to the Django Software Foundation and supporting other Django events in North America who support our mission.

Endless thanks for your support, and we cannot wait to call you a partner in our mission.

Because the conference is organized by DEFNA, a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, your sponsorship is tax-deductible!

Logos will ideally be given in one color on a transparent background and be delivered in SVG format.

Opening Party – $10,000-$14,000

This can be very customized. Sponsoring the opening party is a great way to introduce yourself to our attendees in a fun, lighthearted environment outside the main conference. We’ll help you coordinate logistics and get the word out about your company!

Lanyard – Silver Tier Minimum – $3,500 SOLD!

The lanyard sponsor’s logo will appear on the badge lanyards that attendees wear at the conference (and thus in all photos).

Display your company’s name and logo on the break tables next to the coffee, and let us thank you! This add-on is potentially open to multiple sponsors in the Bronze Tier or higher.

Invitation Sponsor – Bronze Tier Minimum – $3,000

Sponsor logo, link, and a brief statement will appear in the email sent to all attendees welcoming them to the conference and providing instructions. This add-on is open to a single sponsor in the Bronze Tier or higher.

Opportunity Grant Sponsor

This sponsorship can be of any amount more than an individual ticket and can be with or without a normal sponsorship tier. These grants help us give sponsorship to attendees who could not otherwise afford to come. Sponsors will be added with name, link, and logo on our website.

Django Girls Sponsor – $1,000+

San Diego Django Girls will be hosting a workshop aimed to encourage women and other underrepresented genders into Django development, and we are inviting you to sponsor!

Donors will be added to the DjangoCon US break video rotation, get a tote bag insert, and a social media post. This stacks with DjangoCon US tier perks. It’s a great value! This is a gender-inclusive event.

Need a custom sponsorship package?

We’ve helped sponsors host luncheons, throw parties, and add opportunity grant sponsorship and other perks to existing packages.

Whether you’re joining us in San Diego or supporting us from afar, please consider sponsoring DjangoCon US 2022.

We can’t do it without you and hope to see you there!
