ROSCon Global 2026: Call for Sponsors

Sponsorship opens for Toronto event targeting 350+ robotics companies and 1,000+ attendees.

Deep Dive

The ROSCon executive committee has officially opened the call for sponsors for ROSCon Global 2026, set to take place in Toronto from September 22-24. Building on the success of ROSCon 2025, the 2026 event is targeting over 1,000 attendees, a significant audience comprising engineers, executives, and students from more than 350 companies, 60 universities, and 50 countries. This makes it a premier gathering for the global robotics community centered on the Robot Operating System (ROS).

Sponsorship opportunities are more extensive than ever, offering companies multiple avenues for visibility and engagement. Key packages include securing a booth in the Expo hall on a first-come, first-served basis, demonstrating hardware in a dedicated robot demo area, and sponsoring core event functions like the reception gala, lunch, or refreshments. Additional unique options allow sponsors to support the event's live-stream and translation services, gain visibility in the attendee swag bags, elevate startups in a dedicated alley, or fund the ROSCon Diversity Scholars program to promote inclusivity in robotics.

The full sponsorship prospectus is now available on the ROSCon website. The committee advises interested companies to initiate conversations promptly via email at roscon-2026-ec@roscon.org, as high-demand opportunities like booth space historically sell out quickly. This early call allows robotics firms, from hardware manufacturers to AI software providers, to strategically plan their presence at a key industry nexus.

Key Points
  • Targets 1,000+ attendees from 350+ companies and 60+ universities across 50 countries
  • Offers expanded sponsorship tiers including expo booths, robot demos, gala hosting, and startup alley
  • Advised to act quickly as prime opportunities like booth space sell out fast
