Sponsors & Partners
Backed by institutions, communities, and ecosystem partners.
The organisations, institutions, and communities backing GDSC ANU 2026 — helping create a student event that's practical, high-quality, and built to last.
Partnership overview
A strong event is rarely built alone
Sponsors and partners help create the scale, quality, and energy that make a student event feel real, credible, and impactful.
GDSC ANU is designed to bring together students, developers, designers, and builders through an event experience centred on practical learning, real conversations, and community momentum.
Sponsors and ecosystem partners can play an important role in supporting that experience, whether through visibility, community enablement, workshops, sessions, event support, or strategic collaboration.
This page is built to showcase current partners while also making the website ready for future sponsorship conversations and outreach.
Why partner with the event
- Brand visibility across event-facing digital and physical touchpoints
- Association with learning, innovation, and student community building
- Opportunities to support sessions, workshops, or attendee experiences
- A stronger presence within the university and developer ecosystem

A flexible structure for different kinds of support

The primary event partner with high-visibility placement across the website, event branding, and core communications.
- Top-tier logo placement across key event surfaces
- Strong brand visibility before and during the event
- Priority mention in selected event communications
- Deeper association with the event experience and student community
Ecosystem Partner
Ideal for companies, institutions, and communities that want meaningful visibility and engagement with attendees.
- Logo placement on partner sections and event materials
- Visibility across student-facing event touchpoints
- Association with community and learning outcomes
- Opportunity to support talks, sessions, or attendee experiences
Community Partner
A good fit for student groups, local communities, and ecosystem supporters who want to contribute to the event’s reach and energy.
- Partner logo presence on the website and event ecosystem section
- Recognition as a community enabler
- Opportunity to support community-building and outreach
- Alignment with student-first learning and collaboration
Why it matters
Partnership that feels relevant, not decorative
The best event partnerships strengthen the attendee experience while also creating authentic visibility for the organisations involved.
Meaningful student reach
Connect with highly engaged students, builders, and future talent in a setting shaped around learning, energy, and participation.
Brand visibility with context
Your brand appears within a thoughtful, high-quality event environment rather than as a disconnected logo placement.
Longer-term ecosystem value
Partnership can go beyond a single event and support relationships with student communities, organisers, and future initiatives.
