Sponsorship Programs & Vendor Alley

Sport Events Congress is the only event in Canada that brings together all the sport tourism stakeholders in the same room at the same time.

Our event sponsors STAND OUT!

As valued partners our sponsors help us to activate various aspects of the event, engage our attendees, liven-up our hospitality socials, and create effective and meaningful ways for our delegates to develop long-term business relationships with each other.

 

Our sponsors meet more people, go away with more (and higher quality) leads, and have a more visible brand for their products/services in the sea of 400+ delegates.

Vendor Alley & Sponsorship FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What type of booth traffic will exhibitors get?

We cannot guarantee that every SEC delegate will visit your booth – that is YOUR job as an exhibitor to drive crowds to your kiosk by hosting engaging activities or games or offering prizes. However, it is STCs job to bring the right quantity and quality of event participants to Sport Events Congress. 

What is the price of booth space at Sport Events Congress?

Our Vendor Alley prices are available in our Vendor Alley Package. Please carefully review the inclusions to ensure you budget for any décor, electrical, AV, internet or speciality furniture you may need to enhance your booth (these add-ons are not included in Vendor Alley fees).

What type of marketing support is available to Exhibitors?

STC promotes Vendor Alley to attendees onsite via announcements and text messages. There are social media mentions on Twitter as well. If you are seeking marketing elements or a bigger presence at SEC (such as logo placement, speaking opportunities or activations), we suggest you consider becoming an event sponsor.

Where will my booth be located?

Our trade show floor plan changes from one year to the next depending on the venue and we work with a local trade show supplier to create a floor plan that makes good use of the space and will optimize the exhibitor experience. Exhibitors in Vendor Alley are not permitted to pick their specific booth location, but we do try to assign the best spots to exhibitors who confirm early on. We’ll also try to separate you from your competitor.

Do you offer WiFi as part of the Vendor Alley package?

Please review the list of vendor alley package inclusions very carefully. WiFi may be made available to SEC delegates on a complimentary basis, but that doesn’t guarantee that a WiFi connection will be suitable for usage in your booth.

Are there load-in and load-out instructions?

Our local trade show supplier will assist all exhibitors with rentals, shipping, and other logistics during load-in and load-out.

When should I staff my booth?

The SEC trade show is not a stand-alone event. It is fully integrated into the SEC schedule. As such, we suggest exhibitors staff their booth during the timeframe identified for Vendor Alley on the event schedule. Exhibitors receive a full delegate pass with their Vendor Alley package which means you have access to all the same activities and sessions as everyone else. Don’t waste your time standing at your booth when everyone else is in meeting rooms or taking part in other activities. Get out there and participate along with everyone else!

How many people can attend the show with me?

Each Vendor Alley package includes one full delegate registration. Additional ones can be added on for a discounted rate. See our Vendor Alley package for full details.

Can I share booth space with another company or organization?

Booth sharing is not permitted unless special arrangements have been made.

Are exhibitors permitted to do any food or beverage sampling?

Prior approval from STC and the venue will be required.
