Sponsorship opportunities are designed to support visibility, credibility, and meaningful engagement with a highly engaged marketing audience.
Depending on the partnership, sponsorship may include:
• Brand visibility across event signage, digital platforms, and attendee communications
• On-site presence through exhibitor or activation space
• Speaking or content opportunities, where appropriate
• Direct, in-person engagement with attendees throughout the event
• Tickets for your team or clients
• Options to participate in a single event or across multiple SocialNext events nationally
Sponsorships are intentionally limited to ensure quality engagement rather than crowded, sales-heavy experiences.
A uniquely qualified audience

- 60-65% are final decision-makers on marketing budgets

- 37-45% manage budgets of $200K+
- 70%+ manage teams or external vendors
2. Practitioner-focused content
Our speakers are in-the-trenches marketers, not professional keynote speakers. They're running campaigns, managing teams, and solving the same problems you are. Content is tactical, immediately applicable, and tested in real-world conditions.
3. Intentional community building
With 70%+ working on teams of 5 or fewer, SocialNext attendees are looking for peers facing similar resource constraints. Our networking is designed for meaningful conversations—not superficial badge-scanning.
4. Canadian context
We understand CASL, Canadian media buying, bilingual requirements, regional market dynamics, and the specific challenges of marketing in Canada. This isn't a US conference with a Toronto stop—it's built for the Canadian market.
5. No fluff, no filler
We don't pad the agenda with 101-level sessions or sponsor pitches disguised as education. Every session is vetted for practical value and strategic insight.
Once you submit the sponsorship form, our team will follow up with an overview of available sponsorship options and next steps.
From there, we will:
• Learn more about your goals and priorities
• Recommend sponsorship options that align with your objectives
• Confirm availability, timelines, and fit
Our team typically responds within a few business days.
Sponsorship packages range from $5,000 to $15,000 + tax, with custom pricing available for branded experiences. Our Partner Sponsor and Speaking + Booth tiers for 2026 are already sold. Remaining availability includes Booth Only at $5,000 + tax and custom Sponsorship and Branding opportunities. Contact info@socialnext.ca for current availability.
Sponsorships are intentionally limited. We cap the number of sponsors to protect the attendee experience and ensure your brand gets genuine visibility rather than being lost in a crowded sponsor hall. For 2026, our two largest tiers are already sold. Remaining opportunities are limited — contact us before they're gone.
