Partner with OTCF.
Sponsors and partners can reach Nigeria's open tech communities through OTCF — three communities, 4,600+ GDG Ilorin members, and DevFest Ilorin, the largest tech conference in North Central Nigeria.
Why partner with OTCF
OTCF is a registered Nigerian nonprofit that stands behind three active tech communities. Partnering through OTCF means working with a legally recognised organisation while reaching designers and developers through communities they already trust.
Who you reach
- Three communities — Open Designers, Open Devs and GDG Ilorin, each with its own members, leadership and activities.
- GDG Ilorin — 4,600+ members in Ilorin, Kwara State.
- DevFest Ilorin — the largest tech conference in North Central Nigeria, with 2,500+ attendees across past editions. The 2026 edition runs 6–7 November at Ilorin Innovation Hub, with around 1,000 expected each day.
Ways to work together
- Sponsor an event such as DevFest Ilorin. DevFest Ilorin 2026 is backed by Blaaiz (headline sponsor), Qorelly (Diamond sponsor) and the sponsors and partners listed on DevFest Ilorin 2026.
- Support a specific community's programmes.
