About 'Qiita Tech Festa'

Following the major winter event 'Qiita Advent Calendar', 'Qiita Tech Festa' is a large-scale summer event focused on driving article contributions on the platform.

This event maximizes input and output for engineers by combining two approaches: an 'Article Contribution (UGC) Campaign' and a 'Hybrid Event (Live Streaming + Offline Event)'.

Sponsoring companies can engage with top-tier engineers through both 'broad reach' and 'deep engagement'.

The Value of 'Primary Information (UGC)' for Engineers in the Generative AI Era

With the rise of generative AI, the internet has become flooded with information. Because information is now easily generated, the value of 'primary information'—based on the actual experiences of engineers working directly with code and systems—is higher than ever.

'Qiita Tech Festa 2026' is a venue to maximize high-quality UGC, such as 'living knowledge' and 'trial-and-error processes' from engineers. For sponsors, this is an opportunity to participate in a space where reliable, real-world technical experiences gather, allowing for deep connections with highly motivated engineers.

Benefits of Sponsorship

• Neutral Technical PR (DevRel): Gather neutral article contributions from Qiita users without a heavy promotional tone.
• Long-term Traffic and Technical Branding: Articles remain on Qiita after the event, enabling continuous brand awareness.
• Broad Online Reach x Deep Offline Engagement: Reach a wide audience through articles and live streams, while building deep engagement through direct communication at offline venues.

Event Structure

• Qiita Tech Festa Sprint (Article Contribution Campaign): A campaign where users post articles. Prizes will be awarded by sponsors and Qiita for outstanding contributions.
• Qiita Tech Festa Day (Live Streaming & Offline Event): A hybrid event featuring talk sessions by sponsors and special guests, corporate booths, and the announcement of campaign results.

Event Schedule

• Special Website Launch: Monday, June 1, 2026
• Article Contribution Period: Monday, June 1, 2026 – Monday, July 13, 2026
• Results Announcement Event: Saturday, July 25, 2026
