What we offer

More opportunities.

Stackable add-ons that put your brand in specific, high-visibility places โ€” the badge lanyard, the conference shirt, the welcome email. These add-ons are available to Gold tier sponsors and above, first-come first-served.

$12,000

Sponsored Workshops

Deliver a 90-minute hands-on enablement session to self-selected Django practitioners who chose your workshop over the main talk track. Bring a tutorial you’ve already built โ€” we handle the room, the audience, and the logistics.

Your engineers lead the session end-to-end: the format, the content, the demos. It’s direct access to the developers making technology decisions at their organizations.

Includes recognition in the conference program and schedule, mention in opening remarks the day of your session, and a verbal introduction at the start of your workshop.

Contact Peter Grandstaff at peter@defna.org to get started.

$3,500

Lanyard

The lanyard sponsor’s logo will appear on the badge lanyards that attendees wear at the conference (and thus in all photos). It also comes with special recognition on our website and in opening/closing remarks.

Included in Gold+

T-Shirts!

Sign your sponsorship contract and pay your invoice by July 20, 2026 to get your logo on our conference t-shirts for all sponsors Gold and up!
