What sponsorship looks like
Sponsors are warmly invited to use the networking periods to start meaningful conversations, answer questions and give attendees a clear feel for how their product or service works.
Pop-up banners, printed materials and branded giveaways are very welcome within the allocated space.
We ask sponsors to complement the learning programme, respect attendees’ preferences when exchanging contact details and help maintain a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.
Demonstrations
Silver and Gold sponsors can request space for short, informal demonstrations during registration, breaks or post-event networking.
Please discuss any requirements for power, screens, connectivity, floor space or equipment with us in advance, so we can agree arrangements with the venue. Wi-Fi performance will depend on the venue’s facilities, and all equipment and installations must be agreed before the event.
Panel discussions and programme contributions
Commercial Live may invite Silver or Gold sponsors to contribute to a panel when their experience is directly relevant. Invitations are attached to the selected individual and topic, not automatically to the sponsorship package.
Contributions should be educational, balanced and free from product pitches. Commercial Live retains final approval of panel composition, questions and running order.
Promotion
We will supply approved event assets and key messages.
Sponsors are welcome to share their involvement through their own channels, but sponsorship is not conditional on providing a guaranteed number of posts, registrations or introductions.
Attendee information and privacy
Commercial Live will only share personal contact details where the attendee has clearly opted in to hear from event partners. The information shared may include name, job title, company and business email address.
Sponsors must use it only for relevant event follow-up, store it securely and comply with applicable data-protection and direct-marketing requirements. A package will not include the unrestricted event registration list.
