Sponsored talks

Sponsored Talks

Platinum and Gold; Silver while slots remain. A sponsored talk is a full session in a dedicated track running alongside the regular program. Use it for a case study, a technical deep dive, or a live demo.

  • 50 minutes in the sponsor track, scheduled opposite the regular program
  • Recorded and licensed to you, to use in your own marketing
  • Reviewed like any other session: practitioner content, not a sales pitch

Ten slots exist across the two conference days — five each day. Platinum includes two and Gold includes one; Silver is confirmed in signing order while slots remain.
