Put your brand in front of Canada's marketing community.
National and per-event partnerships across Canada's marketing conference series.
The audience you keep trying to book a meeting with.
SocialNext gathers the marketers most platforms and agencies chase all year, in one room and ready to talk. Here's what a partnership actually buys.
A senior, qualified room
Directors, VPs, founders, and operators who set marketing strategy and sign off on spend.
Hours of real face time
Workshops, keynotes, and evening receptions across two or three days, with enough unscheduled time to actually talk to people.
Brand and demand, together
Build awareness on the main stage and pipeline on the floor. One partnership works both halves of your funnel.
A national footprint
One agreement covers the whole SocialNext series, from Calgary to Halifax.

Where a partnership actually gets noticed.
The packages that pay back give attendees a reason to come find you. Attach your brand to a moment they'll remember.
Keynote or speaking slot
Fifteen minutes in front of the full room. Share a point of view worth hearing. We curate for substance rather than sales pitches.
Exhibition booth
Your home base on the floor for the whole event. Standard, premium, and island footprints, wherever the traffic is.
Evening reception
Put your name on the evening reception: the drinks, the toast, and the busiest room of the event.
Lanyards & badges
Your logo around every neck and in every photo. It's the most-seen placement at the event.
Charging lounge
Sponsor the spot every attendee visits at least twice. Power, a place to sit, and your brand right when they need it.
Live podcast episode
Marketing News Canada records on the floor. Take a seat for an episode that plays to the room on the day and to the MNC audience afterwards.
Headshot studio
A free professional headshot is the one queue nobody minds standing in. Your brand is on the booth, and on their profile for the rest of the year.
Coffee cart
Sponsor the refill between sessions. Your name is on the cup in every hand, all day, in the busiest part of the floor.
Custom activation
A prize draw, a breakfast, a wellness room, a launch on the floor. If it earns a moment, we'll help you build it.

Sponsor FAQ.
Can I sponsor nationally, or just one event?
Both. A national partnership puts your brand across the whole SocialNext series; per-event packages let you back a single city. The kit lays out both paths side by side.
How much does it cost?
Every package is tailored to what you're trying to achieve, so the numbers live in the kit rather than on the page. Tell us your goals and we'll send the options that fit, without a long sales call.
Who actually attends?
Mid-to-senior marketers: directors, VPs, founders, and agency and platform leaders, with real authority over budget. Full demographics and a recent attendee breakdown are in the kit.*
Is this a booth-and-banner deal, or something more?
More, if you want it to be. The strongest partnerships attach your brand to a moment (a stage, a reception, a lounge) that attendees remember after the logos blur together.
Can we speak on stage?
Speaking moments are part of the upper tiers. We curate the agenda for substance, so a genuine point of view will always land better than a product pitch, and we'll help you shape it.
What's the lead time?
Earlier is better for the best placements, but we can move quickly when we need to. Request the kit and a partnerships lead follows up within a few business days.
Do you work with startups and nonprofits?
Yes. The community tier exists for early-stage teams, nonprofits, and first-time sponsors who want in without a full package.
