The Workshop

LPW is a single day event, with multiple tracks of technical talks and a range of tutorials and training sessions, aimed at both beginner and experienced developers.

We anticipate over 100 attendees, and while most are from the UK, we also get developers from across Europe and beyond. The UK is recognised as having an active and vibrant Perl and Raku community and the LPW is a key event on its calendar.

This year LPW is being held at the end of October in central London.

Why sponsor the London Perl & Raku Workshop?

Demonstrate your support for the Perl and Raku languages and nurture your relationship with the local developer community.
As a service provider, increase your brand’s visibility to a targeted audience.
As an employer, raise awareness for your company and roles, interacting with engaged developers to increase your recruitment profile.
Beyond your visibility on the day, we’ll work to promote you to a wider audience through blogging, talk videos, and social media channels.

Each level of sponsorship package is designed to maximise your company’s exposure to those attending LPW and the wider Perl and Raku community.

All sponsor blog posts will be promoted in the Perl Weekly, a newsletter that goes to thousands of Perl developers each week.
