Popular topics will be posted later in a forum for people wanting to present.

***Sponsors & Exhibitors*** Generous sponsors make it possible to offer LinuxFest Northwest with no admission charge to the exhibit, presentations or the Saturday evening after-party. Since its beginning, the Fest has been supported with an outstanding venue at Bellingham Technical College. Other sponsors are featured on the LFNW website from the time they become a sponsor until the following year’s website goes active. Become an LFNW Individual Supporter and prepay some Fest discretionary expenses.

This year, certain sponsorships come with exhibits. If you are interested in exhibiting, please choose the sponsorship that best fits your exhibiting needs.
