Sponsors and Exhibitors

We have a range of options for partners wishing to support and benefit from the conference by sponsoring, exhibiting or showcasing their technologies to a select group of golf scientists.

There are many benefits to supporting the conference:

  • Build new relationships with an international network of academics, researchers, industrial leaders and groundbreaking coaches
  • Boost brand visibility and recognition, benefit from association
  • Highlight the potential applications and impact of your technology
  • Gain insights into the latest golf research
  • Support the long-term strength and growth of a network of golf scientists with an interest in technological advancements in the game

Companies and organisations can engage with the conference through:

Display of identifiers (e.g. logos)

  • Event website (along with URL and description)
  • Banners that will be placed in prominent positions in the conference venue and at the Belfry (outside conference room, 1st tee of the Brabazon when delegates are teeing off)
  • Pre-, during and post-event email and social media communications
  • Conference app and/or programme (either digital or in print)
  • Powerpoint slide that is shown at the start and end of presentations (which may be recorded then shared online)

The right to use LU’s and Conference names, trademarks, logos and other image rights (LU Identifiers) for the purposes of promoting the Conference and advertising the Sponsorship

There are two areas within the conference venue where companies can exhibit or demonstrate their technologies during the first two days of the conference (10th and 11th July).

  1. A 3 m x 2 m space with a desk and seating in the upstairs breakout area where delegates from WSCG will be served lunch and refreshments during the day
  2. An upstairs room within the conference venue (size 6m x 7.2m x 2.6m) which could be booked for a day allowing a larger scale product demonstration

A timetabled slot within the WSCG Main Programme for your nominated speaker to deliver:

  1. a live case study presentation illustrating the benefits of your technology (lecture theatre, max 2 parallel sessions)
  2. a live demonstration of your technology to multiple consecutive groups of 20-25 delegates (University laboratories, PING PRC)
  3. a workshop aimed at golf coaches to be delivered at the PGA headquarters at the Belfry on Friday 12th July

Cost

There is no set price for any of the options above; instead we ask companies to put together a package they require and propose a price that reflects the value to them, their financial resources and considers the costs that are incurred in hosting a conference.

Registration fees should cover most of the basic costs but sponsorship income will help us to improve the quality of the conference and the experience of those that attend. In particular it will enable us to:

  • offer a significant discount for students
  • cover the costs of volunteers
  • offer a range of prizes
  • provide a conference app
  • record and share the presentations
  • support the travel costs of international keynote speakers
  • spend a day at the Belfry

There may also be costs associated with your proposed package which need to be considered, including:

  • space and power
  • IT provision and support
  • staff support
  • use of lab facilities and equipment
  • food and refreshments
  • attendance at social events

We therefore ask companies to take the above into account and propose a fair and reasonable price. All proposals will be considered favourably although, if necessary, we will prioritize those that offer the greatest benefit to the conference. We also reserve the right to reject an offer if the costs outweigh the proposed price or we can't accommodate your request due to space, capacity or time restrictions.

If you are interested in showcasing your technology at the conference and wish to discuss the above options in more detail, please get in touch, we’d love to hear from you.
