Publishers offering "Networking Area Sponsorship" spots
A networking area sponsorship puts your name on the place or session where event guests meet each other, such as a networking meal or a welcome reception. Inman and Times Higher Education both sell networking events and sessions with sponsor remarks.
How it's sold
You book it with the organiser's sponsorship team, who often offer it as part of a larger event package. It is sold per event.
What it costs
Most publishers quote this on request, usually as a flat fee per event.
What you supply
You supply signage, a logo and a few lines of welcome text or a speaker if remarks are included.
Best for
It suits brands that want direct conversations with decision makers rather than broad reach.
Before you buy
Ask how many guests attend, who they are and whether you get the attendee list.
