Event guidelines
Onsite Sponsor Branding + Activities
All sponsor activities, branding, promotional items, and collateral must be confined within each sponsor’s booth space and are prohibited anywhere outside of the booth including other areas within the Solutions Showcase, the conference venue, all host hotels, offsite event venues, and any nearby public spaces within a one-mile radius of the event venue, all host hotels, and offsite event venues. Examples include business cards, flyers, or collateral left on tables or in seating areas, floor clings or markings, or booth staff soliciting business outside of their designated booth space.
The Linux Foundation reserves the right to restrict and/or remove any sponsored activities, branding, promotional items, and collateral outside of designated booth spaces at the sponsor’s own expense.
Standard Booth Regulations
The following regulations apply to all standard booths:
To accommodate attendees with severe peanut allergies, we strive to create a peanut-free environment at our event. We will not serve food or drinks containing peanuts and ask sponsors to refrain from providing giveaways that may contain peanuts.
Sponsors may NOT set up custom-built booths. Upgrades can be ordered.
All booth materials, furniture, AV equipment, etc. must fit within the footprint of your booth (booth size varies by sponsorship level) and may not encroach into adjacent aisles or neighboring booths. There will be storage onsite in a separate, unlocked room.
Booth activities including demos, contests, raffles, etc. must be confined within each sponsors’ booth space and may not interfere with traffic flow in the aisles or neighboring booths. Sponsors are responsible for managing larger crowds to keep adjacent aisles and booths accessible at all times. Please ensure attendees are queuing up in an orderly fashion.
All sponsor activities, demos, giveaways, and collateral must be confined within each sponsors’ booth space and are prohibited anywhere outside of the booth including other areas within the Solutions Showcase, the event venue, offsite venues or nearby public spaces within a one-mile radius.
The maximum booth height for booth materials is 8ft. No booth materials or additional furniture may exceed the height as stated by level.
Hanging signs, banners, or trusses above the booth are not permitted.
Backwalls, counters, and any rented booth furniture are the property of the event venue and may not be altered in any way. No materials may be affixed to or hung from them.
Sponsors must not use sexualized images, activities, or other material in their booths and must refrain from the use of sexualized clothing, uniforms, costumes, giveaways, or otherwise creating a sexualized environment.

Photography + Videography
Sponsors are welcome to take pictures and videos within their designated booth space, but not outside of the booth space. Please keep aisles clear of any equipment. When taking pictures or videos of attendees inside the booth space, it is essential to get the approval of the participants first and to disclose the use of the photos or video to them. A photo or video release form for participants is recommended, especially if the footage will be used for commercial or promotional purposes. Sponsors are responsible for familiarizing themselves with and adhering to local union labor regulations regarding professional photography and videography.
Code of Conduct
The Linux Foundation and its project communities are dedicated to providing a harassment-free experience for participants at all of our events, whether they are held in person or virtually. Linux Foundation events are working conferences intended for professional networking and collaboration within the open source community. They exist to encourage the open exchange of ideas and expression and require an environment that recognizes the inherent worth of every person and group. While at Linux Foundation events or related ancillary or social events, any participants, including members, speakers, attendees, volunteers, sponsors, exhibitors, booth staff and anyone else, must not engage in harassment in any form.
This Code of Conduct may be revised at any time by The Linux Foundation and the terms are non-negotiable. Your registration for or attendance at any Linux Foundation event, whether it’s held in person or virtually, indicates your agreement to abide by this policy and its terms.
