Main Stage
GOLD SPONSOR
The XDS Main Stage is the heart of the summit, hosting our most dynamic keynote presentations, thought-provoking panels, workshops, and pitch sessions that drive connection and conversation across the industry. Following last year’s enhancements, the Main Stage delivered its most successful and highly attended program to date, and 2026 promises to be even bigger.
As a Main Stage partner, your brand will take center stage with visibility throughout the summit, from digital marketing leading up to the event, to on-site recognition throughout the Main Stage sessions. This partnership also offers the unique opportunity to collaborate with the XDS Advisory Committee Chair to curate a speaking session, whether it’s a workshop, panel, or pitch session – directly contributing to the content that defines the summit.
With the Main Stage as a focal point of XDS, your presence will be impossible to miss, positioning your brand as a leader in the global External Development community.
