Communicate Sport wholly owns Think!Sponsorship - a one day conference for rights-holders in the UK who are seeking sponsorship. The conference is held twice a year- in April & October and is the biggest event of its type in the UK.
The conference, its brand, its content and its success in the marketplace are all attributable to Communicate Sport. Four years ago, we reviewed the sponsorship market and realised that for those companies seeking sponsorship revenues, there was a lack of affordable, relevant information. The event was launched into a market saturated with high-cost research and information, and has been successful based on it's accessibility to all, and the high-quality information that is delivered through a carefully selected source of speakers.
Over 300 people attended our last event at London Zoo in April 07 - which was a resounding success. The event has built in stature over the last couple of years, through the creation of workshops, clinics and round-table discussions that allow the audience to interact with the speakers, and to select a programme relevant to their needs. We now have representation from the arts, entertainment, local government and charity sectors as well as sports properties, and companies that have attended the event include MTV, the FA, British Heart Federation, Westminster City Council, The Tate Gallery, Manchester United FC, the LTA, Nottingham Playhouse, Marie Curie Cancer Care, Corporation of London, RFU, RFL and many more.
Speakers at the event have included HSBC, McDonalds, npower, T-Mobile, Playstation, Alliance and Leicester, Orange, Powergen, Brit Insurance, Virgin Mobile, Stella Artois, Marsh McLellan, BT, The BOA, London 2012, Manchester Art Gallery, The International Black Media Festival, The Barbican, and many many more.
Full details of the event, previous attendees, previous speakers, presentations and overview of what's coming up, can be found at www.thinksponsorship.com. Our next event takes place on the 27th September 07 at the Brit Oval, London
