The Third Annual US-RSE Conference - USRSE'25

We are delighted to invite you to join us for the third annual United States Research Software Engineer (US-RSE) Conference in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, October 6-8, 2025!

The US-RSE Association is the leading professional community of research software engineering practitioners in the United States. The organization and its members are dedicated to creating research software that is fit for purpose, sustainable over the long-term and reliably developed and supported. Our members come from diverse backgrounds, but we share a common goal: to support and promote the role of research software and research software engineers in driving innovation and solving complex problems.

As a sponsor of the US-RSE Conference, you will have the opportunity to connect with a professional community and interact with talented expertise and leadership in the field of research software engineering. You will also support the advancement of critical research and development efforts across various disciplines and domains. In our 2024 conference, we hosted over 275 attendees, and we were proud to partner with a diverse array of 14 sponsors, ranging from corporations and academic institutions to national laboratories and small businesses. To view our 2024 sponsors, please visit this  page.

In 2025 we are aiming bigger with a maximum capacity of 300 attendees across three full days. In line with our theme of “Code, Practices, and People”, topics of interest for this year’s conference include research software applications and packages, software engineering practices such as code review and reproducibility, leadership and management of research software engineering groups, and career support and professional development for the diverse community of research software engineers.

We hope you will consider joining us for this exciting event and supporting the US-RSE community. Sponsorship provides an opportunity to help this expanding field mature and provides a great way to connect your organization with in-demand professional talent. The attached prospectus describes sponsorship options and benefits. US-RSE now also offers organizational memberships, and premier members receive a 20% discount on conference sponsorship. More information on organizational memberships can be found on our  website.
