We don't run a vendor expo. We don't sell speaker slots. The six partners below pay to keep the conference roughly half the price it would otherwise be — and to fund the sixty diversity tickets we give away every year. In exchange they get exactly what's listed under each tier. Nothing else.
Anthropic is the closing-keynote partner — Yara Okonkwo, who leads design at Anthropic, gives the conference's last word on Saturday. Anthropic also funds twenty of our diversity tickets each year, all the captioning infrastructure, and the conference scholarship program for students.
Linear sponsors the closing-of-day-one keynote (Maya Iyengar runs motion at Linear) and the curated 1:1 networking app — built on top of their public API. Linear also funds twenty diversity tickets and the print run of the Your Business Quarterly.
Vercel underwrites the Friday studio brief and the Sala C workshop room. They host a Friday-evening rooftop drink for everyone whose talk involved shipping, deployment, or the words "production environment."
Figma funds Eitan Marom's "What we hid in 2025" Saturday talk, plus the FigJam-based real-time-collab break-out room that runs alongside the Friday panel. They also handle the badge-design contest run by the conference each year — winning student gets a free 2027 ticket.
Stripe sponsors Priya Rao's Friday "designing for the dashboard you'll never use" talk and the Stripe Press table at the foyer (free copies of Working in Public and The Anthology of Balaji while supplies last).
Frame.io co-presents Pieter Lange's Thursday "designing at the speed of streaming" talk and runs a small video-collab clinic in the Side Gallery during Friday's lunch hour for any attendees working on a production challenge.

No booths, no swag tables, no aisle of identical lanyard-printed-on-a-banner displays. The conference is one long conversation. We're not breaking it for a sales pitch.
Every talk on every stage is curated by the conference team. We've turned down nine €100K+ "partner keynote" offers in the last three years. We will turn down the tenth.
Sponsors don't get the attendee list, the email list, or even an unaggregated demographic breakdown. Curated 1:1 introductions only — and only when the attendee opts in.
The badge has a small logo strip for presenting partners. The lanyard is plain. The bag is plain. The notebook is plain. The stickers are plain. (Mostly.)
We will never grant a partner exclusive coverage of a category ("the only AI tool"), because we don't believe that's true and we don't want to pretend it is.
Partners do not present their roadmap. Partners do not introduce their own keynote. Partners do not appear in pre-talk sting reels. The conference belongs to the speakers.
L27 partnerships open October 1, 2026 — the day after Edition 04 closes. Two presenting slots, four stage-partner slots, and unlimited diversity-ticket contributors. Past sponsors get right of first refusal until November 15.
