Future Proof Citywide draws the largest and most diverse group of allocators and decision-makers of any investment conference worldwide. Our attendees are actively allocating across all asset classes and making purchasing decisions for technology and other services essential to their businesses. The types of sponsor companies that Future Proof attracts include, but are not limited to, traditional, institutional, and alternative asset managers, PE & VC firms, technology companies, and other financial and professional service providers. If you aim to engage with industry leaders and showcase your brand, products, and services, Future Proof Citywide presents the perfect opportunity.
Traditional exhibit halls can be uninspiring and ineffective for networking with capital allocators and decision-makers. Future Proof Citywide reimagines these spaces as outdoor, interactive experiences. This new concept includes sponsor activations, the Tech Pavilion, dedicated meeting spaces, and is situated between multiple content stages, lounges, food pavilions, tech demos, musical performances, and more. It ensures continuous interaction between attendees and sponsors.
All sponsorship elements, including physical meeting space, one-to-one meetings, allocator networking dinners, and brand awareness, are offered on a first-come, first-served basis and will remain available until they are sold out. If you’re interested in sponsoring any of our industry-leading networking products through our tech-enabled Breakthru programs, you must purchase these products and complete the pre-event process by Friday, Feb. 21, or as long as inventory is available.
