Where is Sunriver Resort?

Sunriver Resort is located just outside of Bend, OR. Located on the east side of the Cascade Mountains, it is bright and sunny well into September. It is driving distance from Portland, OR and an airport (RMA) is located 40 minutes away from the Resort.

This year’s event is designed to be a Destination Event, and we expect the quality of our speakers and our attendees to reflect that. This will be a “must attend” conference for many of the best web developers in the area.

Why Sponsor?

CascadiaJS has been a pillar of the JavaScript and web communities in the Pacific Northwest for over 10 years. Past sponsors include Microsoft, Mozilla, Google, Salesforce, Twilio and dozens of other companies who have supported our community and our events over the years. Our event and sponsorships are designed to support 3 main business goals:

Recruiting

Get in front of the hundreds of JavaScript and web developers, and spread the word about your current openings. We attract all kinds of developers, from junior devs all the way up to Engineering leaders at some of the world’s most innovative companies.

Developer Marketing

Get the word out about your product or service to folks who are motivated to learn and pick-up tools that can help them solve their company’s biggest problems. This is a fantastic audience for companies that ship developers tools, devops tools, service APIs, and application hosting platforms.

Community

The Pacific Northwest JavaScript community is strong, but we need the continuous support of companies in our industry to make CascadiaJS accessible to as many people, and as many different kinds of people, as possible.

Who Attends?

CascadiaJS attracts a diverse group of people from across the Pacific Northwest and beyond. There is a healthy mix of folks in different stages of their career and our Scholarship Program helps us make sure that our conference better reflects the kind of people we want to see in our industry.

Sponsorships

Sponsorships are broken down into tiers. No matter what your budget is, we have a sponsorship option for you! If you see some options that you’d like to mix and match, don’t hesitate to let us know. Below is a list of some of the benefits for each of the 5 tiers of sponsorship:

Platinum Sponsorships ($25k)

Workshop Track SOLD OUT

Each day of the conference (8/31 & 9/1) will feature 2 sponsored workshops, one in the morning and one after lunch. It’s an excellent opportunity to give attendees something fun to learn if they’re not interested in the talks taking place at that time.

Activity Track (Aug 31) SOLD OUT

On the first day of the conference (8/31), we are cutting talks short to get outside for an Activity Track where attendees will get to choose from a basket of activities (scavenger hunt, yoga, nature walks, etc).

Companies sponsoring an activity will get to select their activity of choice on a first-come first-served basis. They will have an opportunity to address all of the attendees who are participating in the activity, provide some swag and send them an email following the activity.

Startup Fair (Sept 1) SOLD OUT

After dinner on Sept 1, we are putting on our first ever Startup Fair! We have opened applications for startups who are building the next generation of developer tools to apply. We will invite the top-5 startups to set-up a booth during the Startup Fair and showcase their products to our community, free of charge.

You can support this event (and these startups) by being a sponsor for this event. We will connect you to these early stage startups and acknowledge your support during the event. It will be a great opportunity to connect to some high-potential founders and a larger group of developers, some of whom may become founders.

Captions SOLD OUT

Help us make CascadiaJS accessible to the deaf and hard of hearing! We work with White Coat Captioning to provide a human-powered captioning experience for both attendees in the audience and those watching online.

Graphic Recordings SOLD OUT

For the last few years, we have worked with an amazing artist to create on-the-fly illustrations of the talks that our speakers give. These “explainers” help simplify complex ideas and are an amazing and much appreciated artifact for our speakers and our community. Sponsoring these gets your logo included on each of the 18 illustrations, which also function as the social sharing images for all of our talks once the videos are published online:

Example: https://twitter.com/CascadiaJS/status/1458611171913703425

Karaoke Party 🎤 (Sept 1) SOLD OUT

We close our EVERY CascadiaJS conference with a karaoke night! We have hired one of the best karaoke DJ's in the Pacific NW to help us close the conference out right.

Your company will receive full recognition for making this karaoke night possible.
