Sponsors

You can create dedicated virtual rooms for each company supporting your event. Using the InEvent Virtual Lobby, sponsors can engage and network with attendees on 1-1 and group meetings; increasing brand awareness, building relationships, and expanding their reach in their target audience. Between branded covers, ads, files, and engaging features, sponsors have plenty of options to get the most out of their investment.
