LocalGov Drupal Week 2023 Sponsorship pack

We’re looking for sponsors for our first annual LocalGov Drupal Week.

November 13th - 17th 20023

It’s an excellent opportunity to reach, network and solve problems with digital professionals from councils across the UK and beyond.

Our series of events will allow sponsors to talk directly to a community of hundreds of digital professionals who control millions of pounds of budget for their authorities' digital estates.

About LocalGov Drupal Week

LocalGov Drupal week will take place from the 13th - 17th November.

In a week of online sessions, our community will be sharing best practice, code and experiences, all focusing on doing more with less.

Sessions will be short (45 minutes) and interactive to combat Zoom fatigue.

They will take place around lunchtime or the end of the working day to try and accommodate as many people as possible.

Sessions will be free to attend and advertised to subscribers, contributors and those outside of our community.
