Sponsorship

What is Drupal Camp Ottawa (DCO)?

DrupalCamp is an event for anyone responsible for designing, building, developing, supporting or using Drupal in any capacity. It’s a place where developers, UX specialists, designers, content strategists, and anyone interested in web development can brush shoulders with Drupal service providers, hosting vendors, and other members of the broader OpenSource community. It’s a great opportunity to meet with the community, exchange ideas, network and socialize!

Contributing your expertise is a great opportunity to support the Drupal community and promote your company. Whether you are interested in recruiting talent or building relationships with existing and new clients, you will be able to stand out of the crowd and meet key decision-makers from Canadian corporations and government.
