Sponsor Booths

All of our sponsors are supporters of the web development community, and each of them drives our industry forward in unique ways. Come chat with their staff to learn more about their work and also participate in their raffles! See all of the sponsors here. Our sponsors provide virtual goodie bag gifts here.

Speaker QnA spots

After each talk, you will be able to ask questions to the speakers in-person. We’ll have a dedicated Speaker Q&A spot. Head there after the onstage Q&A to ask your questions to the speaker personally. Location: look for the black booth with Speaker Q&A banner between the two halls. !!! The speaker Q&A room will be hybrid, meaning that remote attendees will also be able to join via the watch page.

Travel to the venue in Amsterdam style, by boat! We will have a continuous shuttle service in the morning. If you’ve missed one, you can either wait for the next (30 minutes) or take the metro from Central Station or the public ferry from Central Station going to IJplein.

Wi-Fi: This year, there won't be WiFi available at the venue. Given a large number of people, the wifi has been always unstable. Therefore, we've devised an alternative solution: you can buy Esim with a 15% discount using promo code GITNATION15 at Airalo.

Lost & found: If you find an item that is on its own (bag, laptop, phone, etc), please do the right thing and bring it to the organizers or volunteers at the registration desk, they will find the owner of the item.

Wheelchair access: The majority of the area you will need to access is paved. There are wheelchair-accessible tables in the venue and an elevator to get to the discussion room.

Filming & Photography: A professional crew will be taking photos and videos at the event for future promotion of the event. If you don’t want to appear in the photos or videos, ask for a black lanyard at the reception desk. The stage talks will be photographed, recorded, and streamed live on the Watch page. Talk recordings will be provided to full-access attendees within 1-2 weeks after the conference.
