The continued development of GNOME and GNOME technologies relies on volunteer time and sponsorships. Our conferences are essential for the current innovation and speed that is associated with GNOME and free software. Conference sponsorship and your financial contributions are key ways to ensure that the GNOME project and associated software stacks continue to evolve.
Sponsorship of our events brings your brand to our attendees, many of whom play significant roles in open source and tech fields. It also serves as an excellent platform for recruitment as GNOME conferences are a gathering of highly skilled contributors who have demonstrable skills in core technology
