SUPPORT OUR MISSION

Sponsor a 1st Tuesday Connections event

Reach a diverse group of business owners and senior executives - while promoting business education. Your sponsorship will help keep our events free for attendees.

The ROI of sponsorship:

Visibility - not only to those business owners in attendance, but also the 3000+ in our marketing database. A sponsors table will be provided for you and your team to man during the reception. Share collateral material, make connections and develop leads.
Connecting - We put an emphasis on connecting attendees, and sponsors with other leaders. Our post-panel reception is a great place to meet likeminded professionals.
Association - Our group of thought leaders bring in subject matter experts as panelists, which in turn draws a targeted audience.
Promotion - We promote your business through our marketing and during the program itself - to make sure you are presented in the most positive of light.

Frequently Asked Questions

What visibility will I receive as a sponsor?

Yes, we are dedicated to making sure that every sponsor is promoted to our attendees and the 3000+ names in our database. Benefits include recognition from the podium during the opening and closing announcements, a display table, and your company logo included in the marketing material for the event.

Speak with a board member if you have specific questions about your sponsorship.

Am I allowed to choose the panelists or sit on a panel for an event that we sponsor?

No, all of the panelists are vetted and selected by our board. We strive to select a diverse group of speakers and ensure that they have relevant experience and expertise in the topics discussed. Event sponsors are not allowed to sit on a panel for an event they sponsor.

As a sponsor, you are encouraged to bring collateral for a display table and invite members of your team to network with attendees.

If you would like to speak or sit on a panel, please contact us directly and we can discuss possible opportunities.

Are there any specific requirements for participation in 1st Tuesday?

Any sponsor of a 1st Tuesday Connections event is expected to meet certain criteria - their company must be reputable, professional, and their product of service must be relevant to our attendees.

There are also some basic rules that participants need to follow such as being respectful and courteous to other attendees. We also have a strict no-selling policy. If an attendee is seen hard selling, they won't be invited back.

For more information regarding specific requirements for participation, please contact a board member.

Do sponsors need to provide any materials for the event?

It isn't required, but it is very valuable to the sponsor and attendees. We encourage sponsors to bring an item for the chair drop, as well as material for the provided display table. This will help ensure that attendees have access to information about your company or product. Speak with a board member to discuss how to maximize your sponsorship.

Do sponsors need to attend the event?

While it isn't mandatory that a sponsor attend the events, to get the most value out of their sponsorship, we highly recommend it. This is an excellent opportunity to network with attendees and present your company or product.

Do I need to sign a contract for my sponsorship?

Yes, all sponsors must sign a formal contract detailing the terms and conditions of their sponsorship. This is necessary in order to ensure that both parties understand the expectations and obligations associated with the sponsorship agreement.
