Sponsorship

Plone Conference is the annual gathering of the global Plone community. It attracts a wide variety of professional people every year from over 20 countries around the world.

Plone Conference 2026 is organized and hosted by syslab.com GmbH, supported by the Plone Foundation.

This year includes a dedicated Business Track focused on Digital Autonomy and practical, responsible AI — designed for decision makers who want clarity without hype.

Why sponsor

Sponsoring Plone Conference is a direct way to support an open-source ecosystem that powers real public-sector and enterprise platforms — and to associate your brand with clarity, trust, and long-term digital autonomy.

As a sponsor, you help us:

  • Keep ticket prices accessible and the event high-quality
  • Bring together maintainers, practitioners, and organizations running Plone in production
  • Create space for training, knowledge transfer, and real-world case studies
  • Support a Business Track that improves decision quality around autonomy, AI, and risk

Who you will reach

The conference attracts a professional audience from many countries, including:

  • Core contributors and maintainers
  • Agencies and service providers
  • Public institutions and universities
  • Product leaders and IT decision makers
  • Teams responsible for accessibility, compliance, security, and governance

What sponsors get

We offer sponsorship packages designed for clear value and clear expectations. Typical benefits include:

  • Visibility before and during the event (website, program, on-site)
  • Opportunities to meet talent and peers (recruiting and partnerships)
  • A strong association with sustainable, open digital infrastructure

Sponsoring the annual conference is the best way to help Plone and its community to keep growing and evolving.

It doesn’t matter if you are involved in Plone as a user (content creator, editor, site administrator), an integrator, a core developer, or if you provide solutions than can be used with our technologies. With your sponsorship you can help us organize an event where we can:

  • Train new people to use and develop Plone, Python and React
  • Show other people impressive projects and solutions made with Plone
  • Find new ways to improve our products
  • Hang out with an amazing community of people from all over the world
  • Create meaningful contacts
