Why Sponsors Keep Coming Back:
"The thing that stands out above all else is the quality of the conference. Whether it’s the speaker sessions, exhibition spaces, networking opportunities or the fundraising awards, all elements of the event are delivered to the highest standard, making for a memorable two days.
We were fully supported throughout the sponsorship process, and the organising committee went above and beyond to fully integrate justrunning.com into the event."
"THINK has been a sponsor of the Scottish Conference for many years and the event is one of our most valuable sponsorship relationships. The conference provides us with an opportunity to meet with the Scottish fundraising community and the exposure our team and our brand get, both to delegates on site and through the conference’s social media activation, is exceptional."
"We’ve been very happy sponsoring the Chartered Institute of Fundraising Scottish Fundraising Conference and plan to continue doing so. The Conference has directly helped us grow our brand presence in Scotland. It’s always such a warm environment—perfect for catching up with old friends and making new professional connections.
The setup is excellent for exhibitors; attendees spend quality time in the hall, ensuring breaks are always busy and productive on our stand. It is a standout event with great energy. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend sponsorship to others looking to support the sector."
