Be an Agile Austin Sponsor

Agile Austin is one of the most dynamic communities of agile practitioners in the nation. The Agile Austin Meetup group has over 3500 members and continues to grow. Each month we host a number of gatherings focused on agile development practices, education, and growing our community. We host an annual conference with hundreds of attendees and attract nation speakers to our events. Sponsors play a key role in supporting this vibrant community.

We value our sponsors and we assume that any organization considering sponsorship in Agile Austin shares our passion in promoting professionalism in agile software development. To fit your needs, Agile Austin provides four sponsorship levels. Each succeeding level offers additional benefits and opportunities to present your message to the growing agile community in Central Texas. Annual sponsorships also include a discount model for KAA (Keep Agile Austin - our Annual Conference) and non-KAA events.

Our highest level of sponsorship provides you with an ideal medium to take your company logo straight into the working spaces and conference rooms of our members throughout Central Texas. In this manner, a one time contribution can generate years of public exposure.

• Product / Service announcements and– Agile Austin represents a vibrant user community, with a strong outreach in the form of several monthly gatherings. 

• As a platinum or gold member, you are entitled to provide brief product or service announcements at a limited number of monthly meetings. 

• Platinum sponsors may announce twice per year while gold sponsors may announce once per year. Typically, a product / service announcement includes a very brief marketing message followed by a brief example of how your products and services can help our members.

• Email updates– Agile Austin provides our community with emails detailing upcoming Agile Austin Events. This email is distributed to several hundred people. To thank our sponsors, our emails include company logos with hyperlinks for all Agile Austin Sponsors. Logo placement and size varies by sponsor level, with Platinum and Gold sponsors receiving significant placement. The Agile Austin updates are a great way to get your company logo in front of our community.

• Meeting Banner Sponsorship placement – An Agile Austin banner is displayed at all Agile Austin meetings. Large versions of our Platinum sponsor’s logos will be included on this banner. Smaller versions of our Gold sponsor’s logos will also be placed on the banner.

• Web placement - All sponsorship will be acknowledged on the Agile Austin website. Each successive level of sponsorship; Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, will be recognized by increasing the size of the company name and logo, the prominence of placement, and amount of descriptive text.
