Why Sponsor
Stand Out in a Room Full of Opportunity
Our sponsorships are designed to elevate your band across the full experience—so buyers don't just meet you, they remember you.
Own the Room That’s Ready to Do Business
Connect Marketplace brings together a room full of hosted buyers who are actively sourcing, planning, and ready to do business—not just showing up. Your 1:1 meetings get you in front of them, but sponsorships ensure your brand stands out across every moment that matters. From expanded visibility to high-impact touchpoints, you stay present beyond the schedule and into the conversations that influence decisions. It’s your opportunity to show personality, build familiarity, and turn recognition into real preference.
What's Possible for Your Brand
With a room full of buyers already in place, the real opportunity is how—and where—you show up. These high-impact sponsorships are designed to extend your visibility beyond meetings, helping your brand create memorable moments, spark engagement, and stay top of mind with the people who matter most.

The key questions—and the clarity to move forward.
Is this the right audience for me?
Connect Marketplace is built around pre-qualified hosted buyers who are actively sourcing venues, destinations, and services—so you’re connecting with decision-makers, not just attendees.
Will my brand actually stand out?
Yes—our sponsorship opportunities are intentionally designed to create high-impact, memorable moments. From immersive activations to strategic placements, your brand shows up in ways that buyers notice and remember.
Is it worth the investment?
When you’re engaging with buyers who have real budgets and immediate sourcing needs, every interaction has potential—and sponsorship ensures you maximize that opportunity.
Is this only valuable for large brands?
Not at all. Because the audience is highly targeted and the environment is curated, brands of all sizes can make a meaningful impact and build strong connections with the right buyers.
