Sponsorship benefits
Partnering with nor(DEV):con, is more than just a sponsorship; you're supporting East Anglia's vibrant and engaged technology community. We've designed our packages to create genuine connections and provide lasting value long after the conference ends. Here's what you can expect:
-
Prime exhibition space
Located in the main hub of the conference; the central meeting point for registration, coffee, and lunch. This isn't a forgotten side room; you are front and centre! This is where the celebrated "Corridor Conference" happens, offering unparalleled opportunities for spontaneous conversations and genuine networking.
-
Full delegate access
The tickets included in your package are full conference tickets. We encourage your team to step away from the booth, attend talks, and attend the conference socials.
-
Share your expertise
Dedicated speaking slots on our curated tracks. This is your opportunity to establish your company as a thought leader, sharing your expertise directly with an engaged audience eager to learn. We also offer on-stage opportunities for prize announcements, putting a spotlight on your brand.
-
The Programme & Swag Bag
The programme is a key guide for the event and a valuable take-home asset. Your advertisements inside ensures your message is seen multiple times by a captive audience. Beyond the programme, you're welcome to add your own leaflets, stickers, & branded merchandise, or even sweet treats to the bags.
-
A conversation that doesn't stop
Your connection with our community doesn't end with the conference. Your team will receive an exclusive, year-round role in our highly active Discord server. This includes the ability to post in announcement channels, ensuring your message reaches our members throughout the year and keeps the conversation going.
Partner with a trusted community-first event
Sponsoring nor(DEV): con offers more than brand visibility; As a sponsor, you are aligning with a trusted, not-for-profit organisation celebrated for its values of inclusivity & accessibility. This is a powerful statement to the community, showing your commitment to nurturing the tech ecosystem.
Our commitment to Inclusivity & Accessibility
Our core mission is to remove barriers to participation. This is a promise we keep through concrete actions:
-
Scholarship Programme
Our comprehensive scholarship program offered to students & the (un)der-employed, that in 2025, enabled dozens of attendees that would not have had the opportunity otherwise. Your sponsorship funds this initiative, helping us nurture the next generation of technologists.
-
A Welcoming & Diverse Environment
We are deeply committed to creating "a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere" and are proud that our efforts have resulted in tangible outcomes, such as a significant increase in female attendance at recent conferences. We actively work to improve speaker diversity and value content that promotes psychological safety and teamwork.
-
Our Promise of Community Reinvestment & Radical Transparency
We operate with a clear, not-for-profit ethos; "any profits we do make are pumped right back into both our own community and fellows too".
-
Unparalleled financial transparency
Unlike most conferences, we practice financial transparency. After our conferences, we publish a detailed public breakdown of all our finances from venue costs to sponsorship income. This is our incontrovertible proof that your investment is used to benefit the community, not to generate profit.
-
Strengthening the Ecosystem
Your support helps us keep ticket prices "extraordinary cheap", funds our year-round community activities, and allows us to support other local tech communites and groups.
Our Sponsorship Packages
We offer a number of opportunities for organisations to contribute to the community. The packages detailed here serve as examples. We believe the most successful partnerships are tailored to specific goals, and we are happy to work with you to create a custom package that aligns with your budget and desired outcomes.
