Coin Congress will return to San Francisco for our third event with a radically original experience for attendees, sponsors, networkers and partners. We are not a traditional conference, but a festival of disruption celebrating the future of the digital currency and innovative tech.
This open forum for collaboration will inspire attendees, speakers and sponsors to participate in networking competitions and legendary, original parties — think TED meets TechCrunch Disrupt with a touch of Burning Man. Sponsorship entitles you to network closely with fellow sponsors and hundreds of like-minded attendees interested in your vision and message. Share your inspiration, experience and knowledge while gaining marketing opportunity. Create stories and memories. Become a three-dimensional brand. Celebrate disruptive ideas.
We invite you all to join us,
Brock Pierce, Co-Founder, and Twan Vrints, Co-Founder and CEO
WHO SHOULD SPONSOR?
- Sponsors interested in creating stories and memories.
- Digital currency and cryptocurrency companies, angel and VC investors, innovators, entrepreneurs, and startups.
- Disruptive technology companies, angel and VC investors, innovators, entrepreneurs, and start-ups.
- Companies and startups from disruptive sectors, including 3D printing, biohacking, start-up culture, tech media, virtual reality technology, gaming, space exploration, and more.
- Local businesses, charities, artists and activists interested in disruptive technology and currency.
SPONSORSHIP APPROACH
The old concept of logo-saturated sponsorship is dead. Attendees rarely remember logos; they want memorable experiences sponsors make possible. We will help our sponsors create stories and memories. Sponsors should accept nothing less. Sponsors should accept nothing less.
Our ethos is simple:
- We disrupt the old sponsorship model through an evangelist approach.
- We believe sponsors can achieve three dimensional brand awareness by harnessing the power of marketing leverage unique to event experiences.
- We believe that sponsorship is a collection of benefits and entitlements that provide a brand with an opportunity to get a marketing result. This is acheived through leverage, or by proactively taking marketing actions to achieve specific objectives.
- We believe activations and events are now, more than ever, important storytelling platforms and opportunities to connect a target audience.
- We believe sponsorship is mutual and about nurturing relationships, and has both the emotional weight – people really caring about what is being sponsored – and the critical mass can be a catalyst for other marketing activities.
We care about your marketing opportunity because we care about the disruptive ecosystem.
THE PROCESS:
- After an initial consultation, we propose creative unique leverage ideas and steps for implementation. Our teams do part of the work for you, making sponsorship easier to implement.
- Through our unique event app, we craft interactive and rewarding in-app games tailored to your marketing goals.
- These can include challenges and rewards for fellow sponsors, presenters and attendees that add direct value to the event. These engaging promotions can involve your staff, promote a product, generate user-generated media activities, and much, much more.
