Conference & Speaker Underwriting Opportunities (Custom)
Organizations seeking deeper impact and visibility may choose to underwrite a keynote, featured speaker, or specific component of the conference as an enhancement to any sponsorship level. These opportunities are custom, high-impact partnerships and are available in addition to standard sponsorship levels.
Examples include:
• Keynote or featured speaker underwriting
• Breakfast, lunch, or networking reception underwriting
• Leadership materials, attendee gifts, or conference resources
Underwriting partners receive:
• Premium recognition as the underwriter of the sponsored element
• Verbal and visual acknowledgment tied directly to the sponsored experience
• Opportunity for a brief 10–15 minute mainstage address to all attendees (if appropriate)
• Enhanced branding aligned with the sponsored content or experience
Underwriting partnerships typically begin above the Vanguard level and are structured based on the scope and visibility of the supported element. If you are interested in underwriting or would like to explore options, please reach out to Teresa Hinojos at thinojos@esc19.net or (915)780-5338 before selecting your sponsorship level so we can discuss alignment.
