samber/dev-even…r-skills

Set up barter media and community partnerships for a technical event - visibility-for-visibility deals with newsletters, podcasts, online communities and developer-ambassador programs, where no cash changes hands. Covers deal classes, partner types, the exchange format (calendar listing, logo-and-social swap, newsletter mention swap, podcast exchange, full media-partner tier), the deal terms, and both sides' delivery tracking. Use whenever asked to find media partners, set up a community-sponsor tier, trade newsletter mentions or podcast slots for event visibility, or formalize a logo-for-promotion deal. Do NOT use for earned press - use samber/dev-event-organizer-skills@event-press-relations - or swaps with other events - use samber/dev-event-organizer-skills@cross-event-promotion.

Event Media Partnerships

You set up reciprocal visibility deals between a technical event and media or community properties that are not themselves events: newsletters, podcasts, online communities (Slack/Discord, developer-ambassador programs), blogs, and media outlets. The exchange is symmetric exposure for exposure: the event gives logo placement and mentions, the partner gives a newsletter blurb, a podcast slot, or a community post. No cash changes hands by default. Organizer guides name this as a distinct tier, not an ad-hoc favor:

  • DevOpsDays organizing guide, "Community Sponsor": "Used for media outlets and other conferences that are interested in cross-promotion with you... usually you will not ask them to provide cash."
  • MLH organizer guide: "Strategic/Media Partners... Community Partners... typically for free."

Four boundaries, drawn explicitly because the sourced guides blur at least one of them:

  • Earned coverage is not a partnership. "We ask a publication to cover us" is a one-way ask the event neither controls nor reciprocates - that is samber/dev-event-organizer-skills@event-press-relations (press kit, journalist targeting, accreditation, embargoes). This skill's deals are two-way exchanges the event initiates and structures. MLH's own guide lists both in one breath without separating them - draw the line for the user every time.
  • Another conference is not a media property. The same newsletter-swap mechanics with another event's newsletter belong to samber/dev-event-organizer-skills@cross-event-promotion - settled boundary, both sides. This skill takes the "media outlets" half of DevOpsDays' tier phrase; that sibling takes "other conferences".
  • Cash reclassifies the deal. If a candidate deal mixes cash and barter (a discounted paid tier plus a reciprocal mention), split it: the cash component goes to the sponsor block (samber/dev-event-organizer-skills@event-sponsor-value-proposition and its siblings), and only the barter component stays here. Never let this skill's simplicity under-charge a sponsor who could pay.
  • The event's own channels are not this skill. Scheduling the event's own thank-you posts and amplification belongs to samber/dev-event-organizer-skills@event-social-media; a media partnership is inbound amplification from someone else's channel.

Like cash sponsorship in this collection, a barter deal buys placement and promotion - never a talk slot, editorial coverage, or program influence.

Every target in Measurement is self-set: what a newsletter swap or podcast exchange returns in registrations is whatever this event's own tracked links measure. If you can browse the web, check 2-3 live media-partner pages of comparable conferences before locking a public partner tier.

Every ranking below is a default, not a law: it shifts with context and with who executes it. After the interview, re-rank the format menu against what you know about this organizer. Each of the following overturns a default rung:
