FAQ – Sponsorship
Why are sponsors needed for a CNCF-hosted Co-located Event?
Community partners ensure that co-located events are financially sustainable. Sponsor support helps cover event hard costs, aids in consistent attendee registration fees year to year, and provides opportunities for sponsor companies to engage as a thought-leader in the community.
Where can I find details about previous CNCF-hosted Co-located Events?
Please review the KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2026 and the KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2025 transparency reports.
If I submit the proposal form, am I responsible for selling sponsorships?
No, community members/maintainers who submitted the proposal for the co-located event are not responsible for selling sponsorships. However, to ensure the event’s success, community members and/or maintainers who submitted the proposal are strongly encouraged to provide “warm leads” (i.e. introductions to qualified prospective sponsors) to support the sponsor sales process. Event staff are happy to work alongside the community to ensure we are targeting the correct folks to support the event’s success.
