Unlike many other conferences, EclipseCon Europe and OSGi Community Event talks are chosen by a volunteer, independent program committee. This allows us to offer a current and consistently high-quality program. Every year EclipseCon Europe is rated as outstanding by attendees, speakers, and sponsors.
The social times and hands-on activities keep the networking going and make sure that fun is an important part of the gathering.
Please join us as a sponsor or exhibitor and play a significant role in this year’s event – we need your participation to make 2019 a success!

Location and Venue
The Stuttgart area is a hot spot for German industry (including Bosch, Daimler, Mercedes-Benz, and Porsche). The region currently has Germany's highest density of scientific, academic, and research organizations, so the conference's Ludwigsburg location attracts a variety of technical professionals.
Ludwigsburg itself is charming and baroque; its most famous attraction is the beautiful Residential Palace, former home of the kings of Baden-Württemberg. The conference venue is the Forum am Schlosspark, a light-filled space in the heart of Ludwigsburg, close to restaurants, shops, and hotels. The Nestor Hotel Ludwigsburg, a few steps away from the Forum, serves as the conference hotel.
Eclipse Community Day
Sponsor representatives may choose to participate in the Eclipse Community Day, (formerly the Unconference) on Monday, October 21. The Community Day is of special interest to the Projects, Eclipse Working Groups and other communities of interest.

Sponsorships are not limited to the packages below! We are eager to help customize a sponsorship that gives your company the highest value and adds to the attendee experience. Please contact us at sponsors@eclipsecon.org for more information.
