A limited floor. An event full of key-decision makers

Most events sell you a stand and hope you find your people. We do it the other way round. The room is application-gated and the floor is limited and curated, so your visibility is not split across a hall. You get a bigger share of the attention and a better ROI on what you spend.

Why the floor is capped

DESIGNED TO COMPLEMENT

Designed to complement

We design the categories to complement each other. Everyone on the floor sells to the same founders at a different stage of the build, so the stand next to yours warms up your conversation instead of pulling from it.

Close but not listed? Say so on the enquiry form and the team will tell you straight whether there is a fit, rather than selling you a stand that will not work.

The Exhibition Package

What's included in every booth.

Every exhibitor gets the same foundation: a built stand on the main floor, pre-event audience tools, event visibility and full access to the programme. Upgrades sit on top of that, not behind it.

Premium booth space

A professionally built stand on the main exhibition floor, produced by the official PlanX supplier. You are not shipping crates or assembling anything on site. Exact dimensions and inclusions are confirmed in the pricing pack.

Pre-event Audience Access

Curated attendee insights and pre-event tools so your team can identify who is worth meeting and start conversations before doors open on 25 November. You do not get a raw list, you get a shortlist worth working.

Website and Media Visibility

Your brand on the PlanX website in the run-up to the event, plus reach across the PlanX founder ecosystem and access to the media area for your own content capture on the day.

Full Conference Access

Your team gets into the main stage sessions, workshops and lounges across both days. You hear what the audience hears, which makes every follow-up conversation easier.

Invite-Only Events

Access to the off-floor moments: invite-only dinners, private networking and deal rooms where the more serious conversations tend to happen away from the stand.

Want to design your own stand?

Custom builds and activations are scoped directly with the official PlanX exhibition supplier once your space is confirmed. You brief them, they handle production.

Not ready for a form? Email the partnerships team directly. Either route is answered within 24 hours.

Sponsorship

Sponsors buy outcomes, not assets.

No fixed tiers. Start with the business result you want, then build the combination of visibility, content, product experience and lead capture around it. Tell us the goal and we will tell you what is worth your cheque.

Brand Building

Be everywhere they look

Stage and lounge naming, event photography watermarks, and a content tail that runs after the doors close.

Product Placement

Get it into their hands

Branded workshops where founders use your product live, demo pods and build-it-in-the-room sessions.

Sampling & Trials

Start the trial on site

Pre-loaded subscription bundles, QR-code trial activations and gift bag inclusions while the context is live.

Contests & Engagement

Earn attention, not signage

Build competitions, in-app leaderboards and on-stage winner reveals that people actually stop for.

Database & Leads

Leave with a list

Newsletter inclusion, opt-in capture at your stand, gated content and co-authored sector reports.

Thought Leadership

Be a industry leader

Keynote stage, breakout workshops, co-authored reports and podcast slots on media partner channels.

What can you actually sponsor?

These are the starting points. The exact inventory is scoped on a call once we know what the partnership needs to achieve.

01

Title / presenting partner

The highest event-wide visibility and the strongest association with PlanX itself.

02

Stage partner

Content-led visibility around a high-attention programme environment.

03

Experience partner

Own a lounge, a networking moment or an attendee experience built around interaction.

04

Custom activation

Built around one specific product, audience or lead-generation objective.

Do not see your goal here? Tell us what the partnership needs to achieve and you will get the relevant options, not a generic inventory dump.

Which one is right

Exhibit, sponsor, or both.

Most partners start with one and add the other. If you are not sure which, this is the short version.

03

Questions founders ask before they commit.

How big are the booths?

3m × 2m standard size. Premium corner booths (3m × 3m) are available on a first-come, first-served basis on explicit request.

Yes. Sponsorship is built around an outcome, not a stand. Plenty of partners take a stage, a workshop, an experience or a content asset without taking floor space at all. You can also do both.
