The prpl Foundation would be nothing without its contributors. That’s why we are proud to recognize our key individual contributors who are making prpl a place for excellence. For example, we acknowledge individuals who dedicate significant time to developing open-source solutions within our working groups. We also celebrate those who present at industry trade shows, showcasing prpl’s advancements at member booths and events like the annual prpl Summit. These contributions directly further our mission and strengthen our community.
