Sponsorship FAQ

In a world where audiences are increasingly fragmented, and with ever diminishing attention spans, conferences provide an opportunity to engage in invaluable, interactive conversation. Few marketing routes offer such an immersive opportunity of multiple touch-points amongst a tightly targeted customer base. Intellectually and emotionally engaged, our clients have chosen to be in that very place, at that very time. We do not offer standardized, cookie cutter sponsorship packages because companies do not have standardized, cookie cutter needs. Our highly experienced sponsorship team tailors our offering to your strategic needs.
