Brent Barootes, President and CEO of Partnership Group – Sponsorship Specialists™ has been engaged to deliver breakout workshops on the modern reality of sponsorship in conjunction with meetings and events. The sessions will look at what is no longer working for sponsors and events; what trends are happening and what the future holds for such a revenue channel and experiential marketing opportunity. The session will provide top level concepts and case studies of what planners can do to generate more money from sponsorship. At the same time the session will highlight how those sponsors and suppliers can maximize return on their investment and generate leads, sales or whatever it is they are seeking to achieve through such a sponsorship.
