SPONSORSHIP

THIS EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION CONFERENCE IS SPONSORED BY . . .

Don't spend a fortune exhibiting at trade shows only to keep missing your target. Avoid the 'rent-a-crowd'. Our niche showcase events let you target an elite reward audience with a bullseye first time

We’ve clearly identified the market segment and researched a 'Showcase’ event giving you full accessibility to this hard-to-reach audience. And we have invited selected delegates, all with proven interest and a desire to find our more about each specific topic.

The bigger exhibitions have their market. Your product is different and it requires access to decision-makers. Our niche events provide you with access to your target market. A senior-level audience with proven interest in exactly your product.

The key to selling your solution is to be able to define and subdivide the large homogeneous HR market into clearly identifiable segments with similar needs and wants. Your objective is to market precisely to these people and present your product and services which precisely matches their expectations and needs.

Few companies are big enough to supply the needs of an entire market; most must breakdown the total demand into segments and choose those that the company is best equipped to handle. E-reward’s niche showcase events do exactly this for you.

>>> No crowds of time wasters, no wasted budget – just the precise market you need to sell to and network with.

>>> High-calibre audience of 100 senior reward managers from leading UK companies.

>>> No more than six 'sponsor' speaker slots plus a very small number of exhibitors – guarantees you maximum exposure to your target audience and ensures your message is not diluted.

Get in touch for a delegate list and information about the senior reward practitioners and decision-makers who attend our events. We deliver brilliant reward events. The quality and seniority of our audience is hard to beat – all potential customers standing right in front of you. A smaller crowd, but no time wasters.

SPONSORSHIP PACKAGES

E-reward Showcase events have a menu of sponsorship products that will help you connect with the right audience. Whether your interest is demonstrating your solutions or service or simply to gain visibility and brand awareness with a special message we have various products available. We can also custom build a sponsorship bundle to address your specific needs.

A unique opportunity to demonstrate your products, services and solutions to an audience of mid- and senior-level decision makers who are responsible for sales compensation in leading UK-based and European businesses. Make an impact on your audience by taking out one of our sponsorship and exhibitor packages or we can create a customised package just for you.
