Tote Bag Sponsor ($4,000) SOLD

Want to make sure every attendee goes home with your brand? The tote bag sponsorship is a great way to get your logo in everyone's hands, both during the summit and when they return home. With this sponsorship, we’ll feature your company’s logo on the event tote bag that each attendee receives at check-in.

 

Water Bottle Sponsor ($4,000)

Each attendee will receive a water bottle with your logo on it at check-in. Instead of putting water pitchers and disposable cups in each meeting room, we’ll provide attendees with these bottles, which they can refill at water coolers placed in each meeting room and in all foyer areas. With this sponsorship, you’ll get your logo in attendees’ hands throughout the course of the summit and ensure it makes its way home with them after the event.

 

Lanyard Sponsor ($4,000) SOLD

With this sponsorship, your company logo will accompany the presenting sponsor’s logo on each attendee's lanyard. It’s the perfect way to keep your brand top-of-mind all day long.  

 

Coffee Break Sponsor ($3,500)

Coffee gets us all through the day, and this sponsorship is your company’s opportunity to deliver that little jolt of java—and joy—to all summit attendees. With this sponsorship, we’ll place a sign with your logo at all coffee stations. We’ll also provide custom logoed coffee cup sleeves to keep those caffeinated attendees thinking of your brand long after they’ve returned to their sessions.

 

Front Row Lounge Sponsor ($3,500) (two available)

Make sure attendees are sitting front and center—and with your logo—for all keynote sessions.  Sponsor the Front Row Lounge—which will be complete with power charging stations as well as logoed pillows—to ensure everyone knows who brought them that comfort.

Happy Hour Co-Sponsor ($5,000)

After a day of weighty topics and thought-provoking presentations, attendees will want nothing more than to discuss what they’ve learned over drinks. That’s where you come in! This happy hour co-sponsorship package includes prominent placement of your logo at the happy hour, an opportunity to include a promotional item on the happy hour invite and on all drink tickets, custom napkins that display your logo, and two attendee tickets!

 

Dessert Break Sponsor ($2,500)

Feeling sweet? Show it with our dessert break sponsorship. We’ll place a sign with your logo on it at all dessert break stations, and we will also provide custom logoed napkins to keep attendees thinking of your brand after they’ve returned to their sessions.

 

Pen and Pad Sponsor ($2,500) SOLD

Want to make sure each attendee always has your brand in hand (look at that—we’re poets and we didn’t even know it)? Get your logo on the official summit notebook—the place where attendees will take notes, brainstorm ideas, and jot down contact information for all of their new connections.

 

Post-break Mints Sponsor ($2,500)  

Everyone loves unexpected gifts, and this sponsorship allows you to be the Grand Poobah of giveaways. When attendees return to their sessions after a coffee break, they’ll find mints with your logo on them, along with a playful note (something like: “Nobody likes coffee breath, but we’ve got your back. [insert company logo here]” )

 

Room Drop Sponsor ($2,500)

Who doesn’t like to receive a surprise at the end of a long day? Make sure your company and brand are the ones to offer that delight to conference attendees. You’ll provide an awesome in-room gift, and we’ll do the rest! Each attendee who books within the hotel room block will return to his or her room after day one to find a surprise from you.
