When you hear the word “sponsorship,” what do you think of first? The welcome reception … or tote bags … or a gazillion banners hanging all around the convention center?
Sure, that’s what most shows do. But you don’t want to be like most shows, right?
Time to makeover the sponsorship menu with options that stand out and benefit everyone involved – attendees and exhibitors, as well as the show’s bottom line.
In this episode, brand activation and sponsorship strategist MK Granados from Gen City Labs explains how to:
* Tap into unique opportunities hiding in plain sight
* Use sponsorships to solve problems for attendees
* Show exhibitors you care about their needs too
* Make the arrival experience memorable
