Conference sponsorship decks that sell the room.

1. 1

   Should package prices be in the deck or sent on request?

   Put them in. A sponsor's first filter is whether a package fits the budget line it has for events. A deck without prices gets set aside until someone has time to ask. We build the rate page as its own slide, so you can update it each edition without touching the rest.

2. 2

   How do we show audience quality without overstating it?

   Break attendees down by job function, seniority, industry and company size, using your own registration data. Label which edition the figures come from, and keep registered and attended counts apart. Sponsors compare the profile against their own customer list, so precision matters more than a large total.

3. 3

   Can sponsors buy a speaking slot?

   Many conferences sell sponsored sessions. If you do, say so in the deck and say how those sessions appear in the program. Sponsored content that is labeled clearly protects the credibility of the rest of your agenda, which is what the sponsor is paying to be near.

4. 4

   What is category exclusivity, and should the deck mention it?

   It means you agree not to take a sponsor's direct competitors in a defined category. If you offer it, name the category in plain words on the package and mark which packages include it. The precise definition belongs in your sponsorship agreement, which your counsel drafts.

5. 5

   What will sponsors want to know they get after the event?

   Usually some mix of leads from badge scans, session attendance and meetings booked. The deck should state only what your registration system and event app can actually deliver, and when the sponsor will receive it.

6. 6

   Do we share attendee contact details with sponsors?

   That depends on what attendees agreed to at registration and on your privacy policy. The deck should say exactly what a sponsor receives, for example opt-in contacts or scans from their own booth. We present your policy; we do not advise on data law.

7. 7

   Can each sponsor get a tailored version?

   Yes. We build a swappable cover and one slide on why the event fits that sponsor's customers, so your team can tailor the deck in a few minutes for each prospect.

8. 8

   Should the deck include sponsors from past editions?

   Yes, if each company has agreed in writing to be shown. A short line on what each one did at the event, such as a workshop or a breakfast session, says more than a wall of logos.
