Sponsorship Opportunities

The goal of LinuxFest Northwest is to bring together the fun, smart, open minds in the community. People learn, teach and share. Our style is similar to that of other linuxfests: free+cheap.

Sponsors provide LinuxFest Northwest with the financial support needed to put on such an event. Sponsor support is what helps this event be free admission to all that come!

Why sponsor?

You benefit directly from Free/Open Source Software (FOSS) and its strong community. Help build an even stronger community, and better software. LinuxFest Northwest is run completely by volunteers. Although we are fortunate and thankful to have a venue sponsored by Bellingham Technical College, there are many other costs associated with the event. We keep Fest attendee costs dramatically low – free.

If you are a returning sponsor: Thank you!

What do Sponsors get out of it?

Simple. You support the Fest, the FOSS community supports you. We feel that everyone should know who stepped up to help make this event a reality. We do our best to make sure the community knows that you gave back.
