Sponsorship Opportunities
What does it mean to sponsor an event? A corporate event sponsor is a company that supports an event by providing funds in exchange for something of value. Event sponsorships can include in-kind contributions (e.g., providing a venue, food, or raffle prizes), media sponsorships, and promotional partnerships.
There are three categories of events; Elite, Premier & Prime. Scroll below for details and opportunities listed in each of these categories.
