Become a Sponsor
HeartConf brings together 350 passionate and talented developers. We lift people out of their day-to-day, and into a space of new possibilities, eager to discover new ideas and impressions, and to connect with others.
As a sponsor you get a front row seat. We treat our partners as co-creators, who together with us shape the event, and people’s experiences. Sponsoring isn’t just advertising, it’s inviting people to actively engage with your company and brand. Various fringe activities are a big part of what makes HeartConf special, and give sponsors a chance to make a unique impression.
With our Platinum and Diamond tiers we turn this idea up to eleven. Instead of a booth, you get a dedicated zone of the venue that is all yours to turn into a destination, an experience, all based on the vibe you want to be associated with. We work with you and our decor partner to turn this into something special.
Sponsorship comes with Partner tickets, with recognisable badges. These make you instantly stand out as a pillar of the event, and provide full access, including to surrounding social events.
To make sure sponsorship is within reach for even the most stringent budgets, packages already start at €750.
