By making a financial commitment to the LD4 Community, sponsors will contribute to the success and inclusivity of the annual conference as well as ongoing LD4 community activity. The LD4 Community has several annual sponsorship opportunities for companies and organizations who would like to support the adoption of linked data in libraries.

Sponsors may instead wish to support a specific cost with their contribution. Possibilities include sponsorship payments directly to vendors—for communication/conference platforms, captioning, or transcripts.
To become a sponsor or discuss additional sponsorship opportunities, please email the LD4 Steering Committee.
