Why sponsor

Six key reasons
for being a sponsor

Join us at AI Heroes and get the most out of your involvement.

User Adoption

Accelerate user engagement
within the developer community

Brand Awareness

Promote your brand to thousands of engaged attendees & to other partners

Community Engagement

Share your area expertise and promote your tools and solutions

Talent Acquisition

Hire the best talent in the Italian AI developer community

Lead Generation

Expand your network and find new prospects

Build Relationship

Share & network with leading companies in the AI ecosystem

Partnership value

Turn visibility into real conversations

Sponsoring AI Heroes means engaging directly with the people who control technology budgets and set technical direction. It is not about booth traffic: it is about meaningful conversations with qualified decision-makers.

Thought leadership

Speak from the main stage

Deliver a strategic talk on the main stage or run a hands-on workshop. Share genuine insights instead of a sales pitch and build long-term credibility with the technical community. Your talk is then published on the AI Heroes YouTube channel.

Direct engagement

Meet the people who decide

Connect with tech leads, architects, product managers and CTOs during the workshops, the breaks and the evening aperitif. Build relationships that last well beyond the event.

Brand authority

Stand next to curated, high-quality content

Associate your brand with a carefully curated programme that shapes the Italian technology ecosystem, and show your commitment to the growth of the AI developer community.

Qualified leads

Talk to warm leads at your booth

Meet decision-makers who are actively looking to modernise their technology stack and their development process: warm leads with genuine buying intent.

The audience

Who you will meet

Unlike generalist technology conferences, AI Heroes attracts key influencers across the whole technology value chain: the people with strategic influence.

Expert Developers

Senior engineers who actually ship: builders who compare notes, share battle-tested patterns and shape what AI-native engineering really means.

Engineering Leadership

Platform leaders, tech leads and engineering managers responsible for implementation and team performance.

Product Strategy

Product and project managers driving roadmap decisions and coordinating cross-functional delivery.

What they are looking for

Proven transformation stories

Real-world case studies with measurable results, not theoretical possibilities.

Acceleration strategies

Practical ways to reduce time-to-market while keeping quality high.

Enterprise governance

Frameworks for quality, scalability and compliant AI adoption.

Solutions, not tutorials

Strategic guidance they can apply the next day, not basic technical training.

Content

Content your brand will be part of

We deliberately prioritise the why and the process over the syntax. Five content pillars position your brand as part of the solution to real enterprise challenges.

Agentic AI & Autonomous Workflows

Moving beyond the copilot paradigm to truly autonomous development systems.

AI-Driven SDLC Transformation

From traditional CI/CD pipelines to AI-enhanced continuous delivery.

Generative UI & Product Design

The next generation of user experience, created through intelligent systems.

Building Software with AI

How AI transforms the whole software development life cycle: faster delivery with a higher bar on quality.

Building Software that Integrates AI

AI-powered products and features that work in production, from prototype to reliable systems.
