Welcome Shipaton IRL event organizer

I have questions, who should I contact?

If you have any questions about organizing your IRL event, distributing swag, handling logistics, or anything else related to Shipaton, don't hesitate to reach out. You can contact Perttu directly via Discord or by email at perttu@revenuecat.com.

Meetup‑in‑a‑box (organizer support kit)

• Our Discord has a separate channel for IRL event organizers, message Perttu Lähteenlahti in Discord to get in
• Shipping & point of contact: For all logistics related to your meetup box, and other kit contents—please reach out to Perttu directly in the Discord
• What's inside: A box filled with RevenueCat and sponsor swag, plus an Uber Eats voucher (in supported regions).
• There’s also a booklet for the organizers in the box, that you can use and that contains useful information. That info is also on this site.

Swag distribution guidelines

Your event kit will include a curated selection of branded merchandise—please distribute these thoughtfully:

• Every box should contain stickers, pins and Shipaton leaflets for all the event participants
• Save limited edition items (few per box) for raffles or highlight prizes. We will have our own raffle app for you to use, but you can of course decide how you want to raffle out stuff
• Highlight that there’s special swag for people who take part in Shipaton and ship an app during the hackathon timeline

Ship Kit details

Every registered Shipaton participant is eligible for a Ship Kit—a digital bundle of sponsor‑offered perks and tools to support app monetization, launching, and growth.

The Ship Kit will be made available starting on launch day when registration opens. On that day, all participants who have already registered will receive an email containing Ship Kit instructions, redemption links, and any required codes. For those who register after launch day, the Ship Kit details should be automatically delivered to them immediately upon registration.

More guidance on Ship Kit will be provided soon.

Can RevenueCat advertise our event?

Yes, we'd love to help promote your IRL Shipaton event!

To get started, make sure to add your event to River. This ensures it's listed on the official Shipaton map and makes it discoverable by developers looking to join nearby meetups.

If you'd like RevenueCat to share your event through our own channels (social media, Discord, etc.) to boost visibility or increase signups, just reach out to Perttu. Let us know when you'd like the promotion to go out and what your goals are, we'll work together to plan the right timing and message.
