Tentative price list for sponsorship levels for ["PyConDC2004"]
The 2004 PyCon conference will be hosted in Washington D.C. March 24-26. This page describes the sponsorship opportunities.
Why sponsor PyCon 2004?
PyCon 2004 is a community-oriented conference. There is no exhibit hall, and product placement in talks is discouraged. The conference has a strong technical focus, and thus attracts key players in the Python community, from industry, academia, non-profits, etc. Sponsors have in the past participated for one or more of the following reasons:
- Increasing brand recognition among Python community in specific and open source community in general
- Recruiting top technical talent
- Helping foster the growth of Python
