Our Sponsors
Sponsorship plays a crucial role in making grassroots events like XOXO Fibre possible. Community-driven gatherings rely on local support to cover essential costs, create inclusive experiences, and ensure everyone feels welcome. Unlike large, corporate events, grassroots initiatives operate with limited budgets, making sponsorship vital for their success.
Sponsors help us provide accessible venues, offer diverse programming, and create welcoming spaces that celebrate all members of our community. Their contributions allow us to keep ticket prices affordable, offer free or subsidized spots for those in need, and enhance the overall experience for all attendees.
At XOXO Fibre, our mission is to build a space where fibre enthusiasts of all backgrounds can connect, learn, and grow. We would like to give our heart felt thanks to all our vendors, demo teams and sponsors who are making it possible to bring this vision to life and help support a vibrant, inclusive, and diverse community.
