Sponsor a seat at AFROTECH Conference 2026.
You give a seat. We match it with a technologist who should be in the room, and we send them.
how it works
Three steps.
Sponsors give
Individuals and companies cover full seats or chip in toward the next one. Every gift is a tax deductible donation.
Techies apply
Technologists who have been laid off raise their hand on the application page.
We match and send
Every sponsored seat becomes a Premier ticket plus an AFROTECH Insider membership in someone’s hands. We handle the rest.

who the seats go to
People who’ve given to this community, in a year that’s asked a lot of them.
Seats go to talented technologists whose careers have been disrupted by layoffs, and to longtime members of the AFROTECH community for whom a ticket is out of reach this year. Engineers, designers, product folks. People who have shown up for this community and deserve to keep building with it.
