QCon by InfoQ · Sponsor Guide
Everything you need — booth prep to lead capture — to make your QCon sponsorship unforgettable.
Welcome, and thank you for sponsoring QCon!
QCon is a premier software development conference for senior engineers, architects, and technical leaders. It brings together experienced practitioners to share practical insights, real‑world lessons, and emerging trends in software architecture, development, and team leadership.
The conference features multiple tracks of deep technical content, networking opportunities, and interactive sessions, all designed to help attendees learn, grow, and connect with the community.

See photos from previous events for inspiration.
Please design all booth materials to fit within the allocated space. Booth setup usually takes place one day before the event.
You may ship booth materials and swag to our designated warehouse.
Sponsors may hire a TV at each location or bring their own monitor. QCon does not provide technical support for sponsor-owned displays.
Sessions may be recorded for an additional fee (internal use only). This encourages live attendance and maximises lead capture.
Placement is assigned based on sponsorship tier and the date of contract signature. Watch for an email outlining the timeline and next steps.
Additional passes may be purchased at discounted sponsor rates. Details and promo codes will be shared via email.
Make the most of your sponsorship by actively engaging with attendees during breaks — this is the prime opportunity to generate leads. Don't just sit behind your laptop; connect, start conversations, and know your audience! Before the event, we'll share a list of attending companies and job titles (emails not included) so you can review profiles in advance.
Sponsors will have access to the QCon lead generation app, which must be installed on the phones of your registered staff. Credentials will be shared the week before the event. Leads can be scanned at your booth and in the session rooms only.
Speakers do not need to register separately — the speaker/presentation details form serves as registration.
QCon is dedicated to providing a harassment-free conference experience for everyone, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, or religion. We do not tolerate harassment in any form.
Conference participants — including speakers, sponsors, staff, and guests — violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled without a refund. Any form of written, social media, or verbal communication that can be offensive or harassing to any attendee is not allowed. Please inform a QCon staff member if you feel a violation has taken place.
Pack up and remove all booth materials according to the event schedule.
Schedule a pick-up directly from the venue (some locations charge a fee), or drop off packages at the nearest courier office.
Watch for post-event communications — feedback surveys, lead exports, and future sponsorship opportunities!
