Ancillary Sponsorships & Rates

We encourage Platinum and Gold Sponsors to deepen their relationships with attendees through Ancillary Sponsorships – à-la-carte activities and other features developed to increase the visibility of sponsoring companies. Experience from past Connect events has proven that sponsors who add at least one of these Ancillary Sponsorships enjoy more participant engagement during the event and receive a better return on their investment.

Ancillary Sponsorships are available exclusively to Platinum and Gold Sponsors until TBA date. After this date, any unreserved Ancillary Sponsorships will be made available to Silver Sponsors.

All sponsors are recognized by company name and sponsorship type in the event program, distributed to all attendees. Until all arrangements are final, activities may be added or changed at the discretion of the organizers.
