This page is for people seeking speakers or sponsorship for developer-oriented events. If you're a Mozillian who will be attending an event sponsored by Mozilla, we'd like to [[Engagement/Developer Engagement/Event participant feedback|get your feedback]] about the event.
=Developer Event Request Guidelines=
Mozilla Developer Relations community seeks to help developers use open Web technologies. One way that we do this is by supporting technical conferences, hackathons, and meetups that bring developers together and share knowledge about open Web technologies. By support, the Dev Rel group includes financial sponsorship, help with securing Mozilla speakers, and Mozilla branded promotional items at the event.
== What kind of support does Mozilla provide for events? ==
Mozilla reviews requests for speakers, branding, sponsorship at developer focused events.
For hackathons, we look to support and encourage these events by providing speakers and mentors in the region, and reasonable requests for food and beverage (non alcoholic) for attendees. We will generally reject requests for the general tiers of sponsorship (for example, supporting a hackathon at the Gold level at $5,000 USD).
Please use the [http://mzl.la/devevents Developer Events Request Form] to request support for ''third-party developer-oriented'' events, in the form of Mozilla speakers, panelists, workshops, sponsorship, booths/tables.
* '''Alignment to Mozilla goals and strategy''': It helps if you can show a relationship between your event and achieving [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/ [DevRel|Developer Relations]] goals. We have a set amount of funding every year, and we need to make sure that our dollars are spent on events that are supporting the goals we have set for the year.
* '''Submission at least 6 8 weeks prior to event date''': It takes time to review the requests. Please be considerate and respectful regarding this time frame to allow sufficient time for consideration.
* '''Mozilla participation''': Money alone doesn't represent Mozilla very well, so we consider first to sponsor events where members of the Mozilla community (volunteers or staff) are participating. They could be attending, speaking, organizing, or participating in some other way, as long as they are at the event in person. <i>Note: If you have no Mozillians involved in your event, we are happy to help find someone to speak, attend, sit on a panel, etc., but this does NOT guarantee a sponsorship. Finding Mozilla participants is judged independently of sponsorship opportunities.</i>
