Next, you’ll learn how to design activations to meet sponsor goals and incorporate sponsors into your event.

The final sections of the Event Sponsorship Course focus on sponsor management. You’ll receive helpful guidance on how to develop mutually beneficial relationships with sponsors, along with key tips on how to keep those sponsors happy so that they’ll sign on year after year. Finally, you’ll learn how to compile your ROI and use this data to renew current sponsors or attract new ones for your next event. At the end of the course, you’ll take a quiz to test your knowledge of event sponsorship and receive your event sponsorship certification, which will prove useful as you search for sponsors for your next event.
