Locally Optimistic occasionally hosts in-person events with sponsors from the community. We appreciate the opportunity to gather in person and build relationships within the community but we are also very thoughtful about how to structure these relationships to ensure that our primary purpose - building community among data practitioners - is not subverted by a vendor’s agenda.

Our sponsor expectations are available in our community guidelines: https://locallyoptimistic.com/community.

This form is intended to capture interest in sponsoring future events. There is no guarantee that there will be an event in the cities you would like to host in, nor a guarantee that we will contact you if we do host an event in one of those cities. Sponsor selection is purely at the discretion of LO's admin team.
