Summit Sponsorship Opportunities

This year, we have a soft hold on internationally-acclaimed wedding business consultant Liene Stevens from Think Splendid, who is known for her dedicated wedding industry research, as well as business and marketing strategies relatable to all niches in the wedding industry.  Ms. Stevens has a wealth of current information that will help all participants succeed and jump start 2020 with insider's knowledge of what's going on and what is to come.   She speaks regularly all over the world to wedding business leaders,  and is highly-sought-after.   She will be the core "anchor" of our all-day Summit Retreat offering several hours of a dedicated workshop in between other featured speakers, and since our attendance is limited, participants will receive what is very close to a personal consultation for their business.  She will also be attending the event as a guest, and is available for networking and conversations on breaks and during our sunset cocktail party.   Take a sneak peek at our current working summit agenda here.

​

Our Speaker Sponsor will receive the following:  two complimentary summit passes to attend the Mastermind Summit Retreat; a featured mention in Speaker's Welcome Basket in her hotel room;  mentions in all pre-event press releases to local media;  listing on website event page;  featured on Facebook Event Page;  continual mentions in all  pre-event social media campaigns on Facebook (2050 followers per post), Instagram & Twitter (3,546 followers combined per post ) - 90% of social media followers are industry professionals locally, nationally, & internationally; mention in 3 dedicated pre-event email blasts  and one post-event email blast to over 1,000 leading wedding, event & hospitality professionals in Santa Barbara, Ventura and Los Angeles areas;  receive a mini "commercial" video showcasing their business and shared on social media pre-event;  Day-of the Summit, Speaker Sponsor's logo will be featured as lead sponsor at top of  welcome sign at check in, on table-top signs throughout event;  and receive featured prominence on opening and closing Powerpoint presentation by Founder.  Additionally, Speaker Sponsor will have access to providing any marketing materials they would like in the Swag Bags going home with participants.   Post- event, Speaker Sponsor will have access to the Summit attendee list.

What is an event without live music?  At Music Academy of the West, it would almost be sacrilege to host an event without music.  As we can only have acoustic music at their location,  we are looking for guitarists, pianists and anyone else who would like to be considered for the following sections of the Summit:   Champagne Brunch in the Garden;  During 30 minute breaks off and on during the day; and ending with the Farewell Cocktail Party at the end.  Think creatively - we are also open to vocalists- trios, barbershop quartets, and more.

​

Live Music Sponsors receive:  listing on website event page;  featured in Facebook Event Page;  continual mentions in all  pre-event social media campaigns on Facebook (2050 followers per post), Instagram & Twitter (3,546 followers combined per post ) - 90% of social media followers are industry professionals locally, nationally, & internationally; Day-of the Summit, Music Sponsor's logo will be featured  on opening and closing Powerpoint presentation by Summit Founder.  Additionally, Live Music Sponsor will have access to providing any marketing materials they would like in the Swag Bags going home with participants.  While we do not offer a complimentary Summit Pass for Music Sponsors, we can offer 10% off the purchase of a Summit Pass, should they want to attend and have full access to all programs and food and beverage, in addition to the marketing benefits mentioned above.

We are looking for a back-up event photographer and lead videographer, as well.

Our opening Champagne Brunch includes... yes, you guessed it: Champagne.  Our evening cocktail bar will include beer, wine and 2 signature cocktail beverages for 2 hours.  We are expecting 35 - 50 guests.  If you would like to provide any portion of alcohol for our Summit, we'd love to hear from you and can negotiate a reciprocal marketing effort for your donation.
