Qiita Inc. (Headquarters: Nakamura-ku, Nagoya; President: Kensuke Shibata)—a group company of Ateam Holdings Co., Ltd., which develops diverse IT services through creativity and technical prowess, and the operator of "Qiita," a service for recording and sharing knowledge among engineers—has begun accepting sponsorship applications for "Qiita Tech Festa 2026," which will commence on Monday, June 1, 2026.

*Note: "One of the largest" is based on a comparison of our registered member count and unique user (UU) count against the IT Human Resources White Paper (2020 edition) within the market of online communities for engineers.

Overview of "Qiita Tech Festa" "Qiita Tech Festa" is a major summer event on Qiita that generates significant article posting activity, following the platform's major winter event, "Qiita Advent Calendar."

This event maximizes engineer input and output by combining two approaches: an "Article Posting (UGC) Campaign" and a "Hybrid Event (Live Streaming + Offline Event)."

Sponsoring companies can approach frontline engineers through both "broad reach" and "deep engagement."

The Value of "Primary Information (UGC)" for Engineers in the Generative AI Era With the development of generative AI, the internet has been flooded with information, ushering in an era of information complexity. Precisely because anyone can easily generate information, we believe the value of "primary information"—based on the actual experiences of engineers facing code and systems—is increasing.

"Qiita Tech Festa 2026" is a venue to maximize high-quality UGC, such as engineers' "living knowledge" and "trial-and-error processes." For sponsoring companies, this is an opportunity to participate in a space where reliable, real-world technical experiences gather, creating a chance to connect deeply with highly motivated engineers, rather than just achieving simple ad exposure.

Benefits of Sponsorship * Realize neutral technical public relations (DevRel) * By encouraging article posts from Qiita users, you can gather neutral content without a heavy PR tone. * Build long-term traffic and technical branding * Since articles remain on Qiita after the event ends, continuous awareness expansion and branding are possible. * Online "broad reach" × Offline "high-energy connection" * While reaching a wide audience through article posts and live streaming, you can build deep engagement by communicating directly with engineers at the offline venue.

Event Structure * Qiita Tech Festa Sprint (Article Posting Campaign) * An article posting campaign where Qiita users contribute content. Prizes will be awarded by sponsoring companies and Qiita to those who post outstanding articles. * Qiita Tech Festa Day (Live Streaming & Offline Event) * A hybrid event featuring talk sessions by sponsors and special guests, company booth exhibitions, and the announcement of the article posting campaign results.

Event Schedule * Special site launch: Monday, June 1, 2026 * Article posting period: Monday, June 1, 2026 – Monday, July 13, 2026 * Results announcement event: Saturday, July 25, 2026 *Note: Content and schedule are subject to change without notice.
