Sponsor us#
We are looking for sponsors to help us organise the SciPy India 2026 conference. Sponsorship helps us cover our costs and allows us to keep ticket prices low.
Our proceeds will go into the following areas:
The venue cost, the audio-visual setup, and recording the talks
Food and refreshments (tea/coffee) on both days
Keeping ticket prices low
Printing and signage
Merchandise such as t-shirts, stickers, and other items for attendees
Video and photography
All other costs of running a scientific conference
Current sponsors#
Attendee outlook#
Researchers and scientists in academia, industry, and government laboratories
Research software engineers, and maintainers of open source scientific libraries
Educators and faculty who teach computational work
Engineers working in modelling and simulation of physical systems
HPC specialists and system administrators
Students and early-career contributors to scientific open source software
About previous editions#
250 to 300 attendees, including students, researchers, faculty, and engineers from academia and industry
Thirteen editions from 2009 to 2021
Held at venues such as SPACE Kerala, ISB Hyderabad, and IIT Bombay

Why sponsor us#
Reach the people who choose the tools. Our attendees pick the libraries, the platforms, and the hardware their labs and teams end up standardising on.
Hire. Two days in a room with researchers, engineers, and maintainers, with a job posting on our channels at the higher tiers.
Support the community. Your contribution keeps ticket prices low, so that more people can attend.
Spend less than an ad campaign would cost for an audience that is already paying attention!

Recording and publishing the talks
T-shirts and other merchandise

What sponsorship does not include#
We are unable to provide speaking slots. Please submit a talk proposal through the call for proposals process. We will consider all proposals on their merit, and we do not give preference to sponsors.
We do not place sponsor content within the programme itself. Sponsor branding appears between sessions rather than during them, and sessions are not used for product promotion. Where your tier includes a video, it is played during a break and not from the stage.
Getting in touch#
Write to info@scipy.in. We will send you the current tier figures and arrange a call.
Our fiscal host is the Association for Promotion of Free and Open Source Technologies. All sponsorship contributions are made to AFROST, which is a registered non-profit in India.
Contributions will be acknowledged on our website and in our programme, and we will provide a receipt for your contribution. We are happy to discuss custom sponsorship arrangements, and we welcome sponsors from various industries who share our commitment to scientific computing and data science.
Important
Payments will be directed through our ticketing platform, KonfHub. We will provide you with a link to make your contribution through KonfHub, and you will receive a receipt for your payment.
