Sponsor the
Claude Impact Lab Melbourne
Help us put on Australia's first Claude Impact Lab. We're looking for sponsors and partners across event, drinks, catering, venue, swag, data and prizes.
Why partner with us?
The Claude Impact Lab is a one-day hackathon where teams build AI-powered tools on real Melbourne civic data — transport, planning, council records and public services. It's the first event of its kind in Australia and we're putting it on with Anthropic's support.
Sponsors and partners aren't just logos on a website. You'll be in the room with the builders, civic leaders and community organisers shaping how AI is used in Australian cities.
Tell us how you'd like to be involved and we'll work out a package that makes sense for both sides.
High-signal audience
Engineers, designers, data scientists, public servants and founders — people who actually ship.
Genuine civic impact
Tools built on the day are showcased on Claude.ai/community and can be picked up by the organisations they were built for.
First-mover branding
First Claude Impact Lab in Australia. Founding sponsors get the spotlight.
Ways to get involved
Pick whatever fits — you can mix and match in the form below.
Event sponsor
Headline support — branding across the event, mainstage acknowledgement and an opportunity to address attendees.
Drinks sponsor
Cover drinks for the after-party where teams demo their builds and the wider Melbourne tech community comes together.
Catering partner
Fuel the hackers with breakfast, lunch, coffee or snacks. A great fit for local cafes, caterers and food brands.
Venue partner
Host the hackathon at your space. Ideal for co-working spaces, universities, councils and corporate offices.
Merch / swag sponsor
Provide t-shirts, stickers, hoodies or tote bags that participants will keep long after the event ends.
Data partner
Contribute Melbourne civic datasets or APIs that teams can build on — transport, planning, council records and more.
Prize sponsor
Provide cash, hardware, services or credits for winning teams. Get your brand in front of the best builders in Melbourne.
Something else
Got an idea we haven't thought of? Mentorship, judging, comms, accessibility support — let's talk.
