Opportunities

Member-only opportunities with our partners.

We work with partners whose events and publications have their own standing to open up speaking, review panels, research collaborations, hackathon and demo day judging, and advisory roles to members.

The rules

Partners choose. We never sell a place.

  • Equal eligibility

    Every member in good standing can put themselves forward. Eligibility is part of base membership and is never sold separately.

  • Independent selection

    The partner, or a panel appointed by the Board, chooses on stated criteria such as subject expertise. We record the criteria and the outcome.

  • No guarantees

    We don't promise any member a number or type of opportunity.

  • No paid placement

    We never accept payment from a member for an opportunity, and never pay a partner to place a named member.

Partners

Real events with their own standards.

We work only with partners whose events or publications have outside audiences and their own selection standards. Partners stay free to choose people from outside the Society: our members get a look, not a lock.

Who we've worked with

  • Databricks
  • Snowflake
  • AWS
  • Lovable
  • J.P. Morgan
  • OSS4AI

Organizations we've worked with in the past. Naming them doesn't mean they endorse the Society or that any future opportunity with them is promised.

Research

Research produced through the Society credits authors according to their actual contribution. Authorship is never sold or handed out as a benefit.

Describing what you did

Members describe roles obtained through the Society accurately, including how they were selected. Any letter or confirmation we issue describes them the same way.
