01 Attendees
02 / Sponsor

Sponsors are the heroes of the week.

Sponsors are the reason the week stays free, open, and community led. In Columbus, 11 partners put their names on every room. Cleveland sponsorships are open now. Request the deck and we will walk you through the tiers, the reach, and the activation options.

  • A dedicated blurb on the site, written in your words, linked to your site
  • Logo and presence across the full week
  • Direct access to Cleveland's tech community
02 Sponsors
03 / Host

Local leaders, host an event.

The best tech weeks are built by the community, not for it. If you are a founder, operator, or organizer with something to run, the format is up to you. Panels, workshops, happy hours, hackathons, demos, founder dinners. The more creative, the better. Submit it and once approved it goes on the official calendar with promotion through our channels.

  • You pick the format, we help with venue and date
  • Your event goes on the official calendar
  • Every night feeds into the central mixer
