Why sponsors choose the summits
Pre-booked meetings
Four rounds of 20-minute meetings
The morning is built around four rounds of 20-minute pre-booked meetings, with around 50 delegates per track. The number of meetings you receive depends on your package.
Targeting the right people
Capped at 10 sponsors
Each event is capped at 10 sponsors, and we keep like-for-like competitors to a minimum. If you confirm your place early enough, we can target senior leaders that match your ideal customer profile and/or work from your ABM lists.
Your stand experience
Fully managed stand
Upload your graphics once and our stand partner prints, delivers, builds and dismantles it, with power and complimentary Wi-Fi included as standard.
Lunch and afternoon programme
Each sponsor also hosts a sit-down lunch with 6 to 10 hand-picked delegates. The afternoon brings delegate panels, a fireside chat, networking at the stands and a crossover panel that brings finance and procurement leaders together.
How the meetings are matched

Matching
Mutual matches first

On the day and after
Fully managed

How the hosted lunch works
Every sponsor hosts a sit-down lunch table, giving your team time with the delegates most interested in what you do.
Choosing the guests
