Stop chasing developers.
Your SDK deserves more than a booth. Get your tool into the hands of builders who ship — and get the telemetry to prove it.
01
Authentic dev access
25,000+ builders. Zero tourists. Senior engineers, founders, OSS maintainers.
02
Integration telemetry
APIs called, projects built, recruiting conversations logged. Post-event report in 48h.
03
Turnkey operations
Venue, catering, registration, judges, streaming. Your team shows up with the SDK and the swag.
Developer marketing, rewritten
The old GTM is a badge scan.
// THE OLD WAY
- Sponsor a conference, get a booth, collect badge scans, hope someone remembers you.
- Host a webinar. 20% show up. 5% engage. Zero integrations shipped.
- Run your own hackathon. Six months planning. Massive overhead. One-time event.
- DevRel team stretched thin chasing vanity metrics. Your competitors ship integrations.
// THE NEW WAY
- Run or join an event, 150 devs building, your API in their hands, projects shipped tonight.
- Cloud IDE pre-loaded with your SDK. Zero setup friction. Coding in minutes, not hours.
- Real-time developer feedback. Actionable insights. Know what builders think of your product.
- Your leads, your pipeline, your community — captured and attributed to your event.

“I pulled every project from the event and evaluated them based on their GitHub repos — then gave each team a shout-out on LinkedIn, because they actually used Contextual in their code base. 👍”
