PeersCon27 is built by the community, for the community and for those who care about quality.
We’re not trying to build a profit machine. We’re trying to keep tickets accessible, bring great people together and create a space that actually feels useful and human.
That’s where our partners come in. Your support directly lowers the cost of attendance and helps more people be part of the community while bringing ideas and opportunity to it.
In return, we offer meaningful access to a highly engaged audience, not just logo placement.
We’re happy to listen to ideas and collaborate. Get in touch.
Why partner with us?
We’re not a corporate expo. We’re a space where testers share ideas, learn from each other and connect honestly.
We’re looking for partners who want to:
- Engage with the testing community
- Share knowledge, not just marketing
- Support accessibility in tech events
If that sounds like you, you’ll fit right in.
Some of our partners have run CV workshops, bug hunts, puzzles and quizzes. We have found over the years that the more engaging and fun the connection, the more both attendees and the partner get out of the event.

Partner FAQ
What does partnering with PeersCon27 support?
Partnership helps us keep the conference accessible, community-led and useful for attendees. Your support contributes directly to keeping ticket prices lower and improving the overall event experience.
What kind of audience will we reach?
You’ll reach a focused software testing and quality engineering audience including practitioners, SDETs, QA and test engineers, automation specialists, senior leaders, heads of QA and test, consultants and early-career community members. The stats above are the ones we’re asked for most but if you have other questions we’ll be happy to help.
Do you offer fixed sponsorship tiers?
Not in a rigid Bronze, Silver and Gold way. We outline a few typical flavours of partnership so you know what’s possible then shape the details around what works for you, the event and the community. You can also simply donate through our ticketing page.
Can small businesses or independent consultants partner with you?
Yes. You don’t need to be a big company to support the event. We’re open to smaller, lighter-touch partnerships where the fit is right and the contribution adds value for all. Over the years we’ve had a blend of different-sized partners and value the diversity this brings.
Can larger companies get broader visibility?
Yes. Larger partners can usually get wider visibility across the event, website, LinkedIn, podcast and attendee experience. We keep things balanced so the event doesn’t feel owned by any one company and we will work with you to make sure everyone gets value.
Can partners buy a speaking slot?
No. We don’t sell speaking slots or programme influence. The conference programme is independently curated and community-led. We can put things on alongside the main programme such as workshops and demos.
Can partners contribute to the experience around the programme?
Yes. Partners can support things like breaks, socials, podcast content, community activities or useful extras around the event. The key point is that it adds to the attendee experience without becoming pay-to-play content.
Will we receive attendee contact details?
No, not as standard. We don’t hand over attendee lists or encourage spammy lead capture. Partners are welcome to create opt-in ways for attendees to connect and we encourage genuine conversations over cold outreach.
What visibility can partners expect?
Depending on the partnership, visibility may include website presence, LinkedIn mentions, podcast mentions or content, event comms, on-site presence, signage and post-event thanks. We’ll agree on this clearly up front.
What makes a good partner for this event?
A good partner cares about the testing and quality community, wants to support accessible events and is interested in meaningful engagement rather than just extracting leads. If you want honest conversations with the right people you’ll probably fit in.
How will it be invoiced?
We’re flexible. We tend to have a formal partnership agreement and send formal invoices. We’re a non-profit community enterprise run by a small group in the quality community and we’re not VAT registered as we’re below the threshold. We’re always transparent with costs, which you can see on our home page.
