Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between platform and event sponsorship?
Platform sponsorship provides ongoing visibility across all Dev Korea channels and events for a full year. Event sponsorship is a one-time sponsorship for a specific meetup. Platform sponsorship offers better ROI for companies seeking sustained brand presence.
How long does the application process take?
We typically review and respond to all sponsorship applications within 48 hours. Once approved, we'll work with you to finalize the agreement and get your brand featured.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept bank transfers (KRW) and international wire transfers (USD). Payment is due upfront for the year, and we'll send an invoice after approval.
Can I cancel or get a refund?
Platform sponsorships are paid upfront for the full year. We generally don't offer refunds, but we're happy to discuss special circumstances. Annual partners get first-right on renewals.
How do I provide my logo and company info?
After approval, we'll request your logo (SVG or high-res PNG), company description, and any other assets needed. You can also include a logo URL in the application form to speed things up.
