We say it on the site, we'll say it at the conference, and I'll say it every opportunity I have; Our amazing sponsors are essential to us being able to run the conference every year. Their support lets us bring in our keynote speakers, subsidize student attendees, have the talks professionally recorded, and numerous other parts of making the event excellent and run smoothly. Particular thanks to SkySafe for sponsoring the Monday night social event.
