Sponsoring TechBash

TechBash returns to the Kalahari November 4-7, 2025! Want to sponsor and be a part of the learning, networking, food and fun?

Our approach is simple: Allow you to make a more direct connection between your sponsorship dollars and our costs and allow you to only pay for the things that make sense for you. How do we do that? Flexibility. Yes, we can make this simple and offer basic sponsorship packages to our vendors. But we also offer you the chance to build your own package. We know that each vendor has unique needs and a different message to get out. So, we do not force you into a package that doesn’t fit your plan. If you have an idea, just let us know. We are very flexible and encourage creativity! Download our prospectus and reach out today!

Our Venue

The Kalahari Resort and Convention Center in Pennsylvania’s Pocono Mountains is brand new and state of the art. The conference area is large, new and hi-tech. The food is outstanding. TechBash is held in the convention center, and, since the attached resort has one of the largest indoor water parks in the United States, most of our attendees stay onsite for the duration of the conference. With discounted room rates, a killer opening night reception, an open gaming space and a full day of free STEM sessions for kids our attendees are actively involved in the conference venue long past the final breakout session of the day.

Call for speakers is open thru March 31st

Our CFP opened this month. If you or anyone from your company is interested in joining us as a speaker, they can submit sessions, workshops, and keynotes on Sessionize now!
