Include your name, the topic, and any relevant event details.
- If you're staff, click this link to add the calendar to your Mozilla Google Calendar. You'll then have the ability to add events to it.

Sponsoring Events
If you are a developer at Mozilla and have gone to a conference or meetup of any kind, it's likely you've been asked if Mozilla can be a sponsor.
How should you answer? Here's how:
"Mozilla does sponsor some events! Fill out the request form [1]. Our developer relations and events team come together each week and process these requests. Sponsorship is often dependent on relevance to our mission, and whether Mozillians are participating in the event."
- Event request guidelines (how we evaluate whether or not to sponsor)
- Event request form
Speaking at Events
If you're speaking at a conference, and your team cannot cover your travel, then DevRel possibly can. You can request funding for travel/accommodations/expenses using the following process:
- Fill out the event request form, and make clear in the description that you're a staff member who is speaking at a developer event.
- Once your request has been approved in the bug, book your travel in Egencia, using the "Tech Evangelism" cost center.
- Add your speaking engagement to the Staff DevRel Google Calendar (instructions earlier in this page).
