The only software design conference where every attendee is a senior decision-maker.
250 practitioners. No massive expo halls, no filler sessions. Partners share meals, hallway conversations, and open space sessions with software architects, engineering leaders, and senior developers for three days.
Partnership does not include speaking opportunities. Speakers are selected through our separate Call for Proposals process.
“We’re proud to have sponsored Explore DDD again this year, an incredible event bringing together some of the best minds in software architecture.”
SingleStone, Conference Partner
80%+ of attendees are senior developers, architects, and engineering leaders who make technology decisions. That works out to $16–$100 per decision-maker depending on the package.
Our intimate format means partners interact directly with attendees throughout the conference. Meals, open spaces, and evening events create natural opportunities for real conversations.
Every talk is published on the Explore DDD YouTube channel: 6,700+ subscribers, 350,000+ views, 52,300+ hours watched. Your brand reaches thousands of practitioners long after the conference ends.
If you hire one senior engineer through Explore DDD connections, the partnership pays for itself. You spend three days alongside exactly the people you want to hire.
Typical attendee roles: Software Architects • Engineering Managers/Directors • Senior Developers • CTOs/VPs • Consultants
All packages include logo on website, opening slides, conference signage, social media recognition, and attendee bag item. See the full prospectus for complete details.
These can be purchased standalone or combined with any package above.
*Subject to availability; Platinum and Gold partners may claim as part of their package.

“Explore DDD was awesome last week. Thank you to Paul Rayner, Rachel Pool, and their entire team for being such gracious hosts and putting together an insightful and fun conference. I'm so glad it's back, and I can't wait for next year!”
David Laribee, Speaker
“I found my tribe at #ExploreDDD. What I love about this community is that they're all there not to get rich, sell more software, or become famous, but that they all care deeply about their craft and want to build better software.”
Brian Zambrano, Attendee
