Counters for the model builders: PyTorch Conference 2027 booths in San Jose
PyTorch Conference sponsors get a Linux Foundation counter, power, Wi-Fi and a footprint set by tier, not an open floor. We make that counter work for ML engineers: demo hardware, screens, graphics files and freight to San Jose, inside the package rules.

What makes PyTorch Conference different, and how we build for it
PyTorch Conference is the PyTorch community's own two-day meeting, run by the Linux Foundation with the PyTorch Foundation, and in 2026 it drew 3,500+ attendees from 1,000+ organizations to San Jose, with 400+ speakers and 200+ talks and posters. The sponsor floor is a showcase of Linux Foundation counters sold by tier: in 2026 Diamond sponsors such as AMD, AWS, Google, Meta and Nvidia took 20-by-20 spaces with a two-meter counter, and startups took 6-by-6 tables. Sponsored talks must avoid sales pitches, so engineers come to the counters for the technical answer. A booth here wins with a benchmark, a notebook or a model running live.
Code they can read, a model or kernel running live with real numbers, and someone behind the counter fluent in compilers, kernels and memory limits.
Throughput and cost figures on hardware they recognise, deployment paths from training to inference, and a follow-up with a solutions architect.
Your upstream contributions and roadmap, a way to get involved, and swag or hardware they can test, within the rules.
Your team in San Jose
How Purple runs PyTorch Conference 2027
Our Fishkill, NY or Las Vegas shop prints the counter graphics to the organizer's spec and packs screens and demo hardware in road cases, shipped to the address in the 2027 sponsor kit. A Purple project manager sets up and strikes the kit in San Jose with the labor the venue requires and tests the demo on the package power and Wi-Fi before doors open.
Inside PyTorch Conference 2027
Rules that shape your PyTorch Conference booth
The 2026 prospectus does not allow pavilions or sponsorships shared by several companies, because benefits are set per level. We plan one brand per counter and keep partner logos to what the organizer approves.
Sponsored speaking content must be approved by the program chairs, with no sales and marketing pitches; in 2026 it was due October 1. We keep the sales message on your counter graphics, where it belongs.
Sponsor spaces in 2026 came with 5 amps of power, a power strip and Wi-Fi. We choose demo machines and screens that fit that load or order the upgrade the organizer lists.
Programs worth planning for
A $5,000 tier in 2026 with a 6×6 table, tabletop sign, two chairs, power, Wi-Fi and four passes, open to startups, non-profits and venture firms.
Sponsor demo sessions held in a meeting room or the exhibit hall, included with higher tiers in 2026 and subject to program chair approval.
PyTorch Conference is the deep-learning framework's own community meeting; choose it over KubeCon when your buyers train and serve models in PyTorch rather than run cloud native platforms, and when a counter beside the people writing the code is enough floor.

02 Booths & pricing for PyTorch Conference 2027
How much does it cost to sponsor PyTorch Conference 2027?
The Linux Foundation sells PyTorch Conference space by sponsor tier: in 2026, 20×20 for Diamond, 15×15 for Platinum, a 10×10 counter space for Gold and Silver and a 6×6 table for Bronze, Startup, Non-Profit and VC. Each comes with the counter or table, power and Wi-Fi; we add what the package allows.
PyTorch sells no 10×20; the closest is the Gold or Silver 10×10 counter space, where we supply counter graphics files, a monitor stand, demo hardware and a light.
Pictured: Barantech, a Purple inline booth

The booth we would build for PyTorch Conference 2027
The live benchmark counter
PyTorch Conference sponsors get an organizer-built counter or table by tier, with 5 amps of power and Wi-Fi, and sponsored talks may not pitch. So the play is not a build: it is a counter that shows a model or benchmark running live, with graphics and a screen an engineer can read from the aisle.
Counter graphic
Artwork made to the organizer's counter spec, naming the hardware, library or service and the PyTorch versions it supports.
Benchmark screen
One monitor on a stand behind the counter showing throughput, latency or cost per token for a well-known open model.
Hands-on laptop
A laptop or compact workstation where a visitor runs the notebook themselves, chosen to fit the 5-amp power in the package.
Repro cards
Printed cards with the repository, docs and one reproduction command, so an engineer can rerun the test that night.
The demo
Train or serve a familiar open model live, numbers on screen and code visible, so a PyTorch contributor can check the method. No slides: this audience writes the framework and will ask how the benchmark was run.
The meetings
The conference runs two days and packages center on counters and tables rather than rooms, so meetings happen at the counter or in the Demo Theater sessions higher tiers include. Bring a short list of maintainers and researchers to see and set times with them before October 6.

04 Designing for AI infrastructure, model, tooling and cloud brands at PyTorch Conference
Designing a PyTorch Conference counter for model builders
1Make the counter carry the benchmark
The Linux Foundation supplies the counter with graphics, so the artwork is your one big surface. We set one model, one number and one hardware line at eye level and leave the code to the screen beside it.
2Live notebooks, wired power
Packages in 2026 came with 5 amps of power, a power strip and Wi-Fi. We size demo machines to that load, bring cable management and a recorded run in case shared Wi-Fi slows, and order any upgrade the package lists.
3Engineers talk to engineers
Talks on the program cannot be sales pitches, so attendees come to sponsor counters for depth. We plan for staff who can open the code, with stools at counter height and a second screen for questions about kernels and compilers.
4Ship small, set up fast
On a 10×10 or 6×6 package, the kit is the booth. We pack monitors, stands, hardware and printed pieces into cases one person can roll from the dock, label them for the venue named in the 2027 kit and send a setup sheet.
Concept rendering
Your PyTorch Conference proposal comes with a rendering like this
The 3D view shows layout, graphics, lighting and product positions before we cut a panel, and we revise it until the PyTorch Conference booth is right. Shown: a Purple concept for B&H.

PyTorch Conference sponsor rules from the 2026 prospectus
Sponsor spaces in 2026 came with 5 amps of power and one power strip; pick demo machines that fit, or order the upgrade the prospectus lists. source
The 2026 prospectus barred pavilions and shared sponsorships, so two partner companies each need their own tier and counter. source
Sponsored speaking content needs program chair approval and must avoid sales pitches; in 2026 it was due October 1, less than three weeks before the show. source
PyTorch members got a 3% sponsorship discount in 2026, worth checking before the contract is signed. source
In 2026 sessions ran in the Grand Ballroom on the San Jose Convention Center's Concourse Level, with a Community Expo on the program; ask early where 2027 counters sit relative to the talks. source
Who you meet on the floor
They present talks and posters, then check at the counters whether a vendor's numbers hold up.
They train and serve models in PyTorch and want tools that slot into their stack without rewrites.
This is the community's own meeting, and they shape which hardware and libraries get upstream support.
A $5,000 tier in 2026 put founders and venture firms at their own tables to meet engineers and one another.

PyTorch Conference exhibitor questions
PyTorch Conference 2027 sponsor FAQ
When is PyTorch Conference 2027?
PyTorch Conference 2027 runs October 6–7, 2027 in San Jose, California, per the Linux Foundation events calendar. The 2026 edition, PyTorch Conference North America, ran October 20–21, 2026.
Where is PyTorch Conference 2027 held?
San Jose, per the Linux Foundation calendar; the building is not confirmed yet. In 2026 the conference was held at the San Jose Convention Center, 150 W San Carlos Street.
How many people attend PyTorch Conference?
3,500+ attendees from 1,000+ organizations came to the 2026 edition, with 400+ speakers and 200+ talks and posters, per the Linux Foundation event page.
How much does it cost to sponsor PyTorch Conference?
$5,000 to $100,000 in 2026: Diamond cost $100,000, Platinum $65,000, Gold $45,000, Silver $20,000, Bronze $10,000 and Startup, Non-Profit and VC $5,000, per the prospectus. PyTorch members received a 3% discount; 2027 prices are not confirmed yet.
What booth comes with a PyTorch Conference sponsorship?
An organizer-built counter or table, sized by tier. In 2026, Diamond included a 20×20 space and Platinum a 15×15, each with a two-meter counter with graphics, two stools, 5 amps of power, a power strip and Wi-Fi; smaller tiers had a one-meter counter or a 6×6 table.
Who sponsors PyTorch Conference?
The 2026 Diamond sponsors were AMD, AWS, Crusoe, Google, IBM, Meta, Nvidia and Qualcomm, with Arm, Intel, Red Hat and Lightning AI among Platinum sponsors and startups such as Modal and Runpod further down.
Can we bring our own booth to PyTorch Conference?
Not a full build: sponsor spaces come with the organizer's counter or table, and the prospectus lists upgrade options. We work inside that with graphics files, demo hardware, screens and lighting the package allows, plus freight and setup.
Can two companies share a PyTorch sponsorship?
No. The 2026 prospectus does not allow pavilions or sponsorships shared by more than one company, because of how exhibitor benefits work at each level; each company buys its own tier.
Can sponsors give talks at PyTorch Conference?
Yes, at the higher tiers: a keynote, breakout or Demo Theater session, with content approved by the program chairs and no sales and marketing pitches. In 2026 speaking content was due October 1.
When should we prepare for PyTorch Conference 2027?
Agree your tier in the spring, sign off counter artwork and demo kit by early August 2027, and ship cases in mid-September. A Diamond or Platinum kit with several screens needs the earlier end of that window.
Is there a cheaper pass for researchers?
Yes: the 2026 edition offered a $249 pass for researchers and students. Sponsor tiers include staff passes, from 4 at the $5,000 level to 30 at Diamond in 2026.
Where should we stay for PyTorch Conference 2027?
The 2027 hotel block is not confirmed yet. Book once the venue is named, within walking distance, so staff reach the counter before the doors open on October 6.
Is PyTorch Conference worth sponsoring for an AI startup?
Often, for the price. The Startup tier cost $5,000 in 2026 and came with a 6×6 table, power, Wi-Fi and four passes, putting a young company in front of 3,500+ PyTorch users for two days.
What is the difference between PyTorch Conference and KubeCon?
The audience's job. PyTorch Conference is the two-day meeting of people who train and serve models in PyTorch; KubeCon + CloudNativeCon is the CNCF's event for teams running cloud native platforms. Both are Linux Foundation events with tiered sponsor floors.
Before you sign for PyTorch Conference
Ask any PyTorch Conference exhibit builder these five questions:
- Can you produce counter artwork to the Linux Foundation's exact specification for our tier?
- Will our demo machine and monitor run on the 5 amps the package includes, or do we need the upgrade?
- How will you case and ship screens and GPU machines to the address in the 2027 sponsor kit?
- Who sets up and strikes our kit in San Jose, with the labor the venue requires?
- Can the same counter graphics and cases travel on to KubeCon or other Linux Foundation events?
What PyTorch Conference exhibitors ask us
The package only gives us a counter. What can a builder add? The parts an engineer sees: graphics to the counter spec, a screen on a stand, lighting and a demo kit packed in cases. The counter, stools, power and Wi-Fi come from the organizer.
Talks cannot pitch. How do we sell anything? Through the counter. Sponsored sessions must pass the program chairs with no sales pitch, so the counter graphics and the live benchmark carry the commercial message.
The 2027 building is not named. Can we plan now? Yes. The Linux Foundation has set San Jose for October 6–7, 2027, and counter artwork and cases do not depend on the building, so we design now and set freight once the sponsor kit gives the address.
