Hello friends of Balsamiq!
While it’s a new year (and a new decade) we’d like to take a moment to share our accomplishments from 2019.
We were fortunate enough to be able to financially contribute to 207 events in 36 unique countries and we raffled 32 free tickets! For a complete list of these amazing hackathons, conferences, and meetups please visit our website.
If you have an event happening this year that fits our mission then we invite you to apply for a sponsorship. We look forward to hearing from you.
