To Speak at Your Event

Obtaining Sponsorship for Your Event

One way to help cover the expenses for your meeting is to find a sponsor willing to provide funding. Donors, members, exhibitors, and suppliers may be willing to help pay for the event. Sponsorship can represent a unique marketing opportunity.

The following are some benefits you can offer to potential sponsors:

Print a "thank you" mention in the program
Run the sponsor's ad in the program
Acknowledge the sponsor on your Web site
Offer to allow the sponsor to introduce the speaker and deliver a "live commercial"
Send out letters of invitation to the event to the sponsor's mailing list.
Hang a banner behind the stage where the speaker will present
Put fliers with the sponsor's logo on each participant's chair
Include the sponsor's name and logo on your handouts
Arrange a meal with the speaker

Here are some benefits I can offer to your sponsor:

Sign books in the sponsor's booth after the program
Deliver a short talk to the sponsor before the conference
Provide reprint rights on an article I have written for the sponsor's newsletter

Here is a Sample Sponsorship Letter you can send to potential event sponsors.
