As one of your biggest sources of funding, strong sponsor relationships are a major priority for any successful event.
Of course, guaranteeing sponsors the strong brand awareness they’re looking for is no easy task. Sponsors want to be able to maximize their branding exposure in different ways such as displaying their enriched profiles and reaching out to attendees, which can be difficult to facilitate, especially if the event will be held virtually.
With Whova’s new Sponsor Center, featuring a sponsors’ brand is easier than ever. Whether the event is virtual, in-person, or a hybrid of the two, the Sponsor Center’s company banners, customized profiles, and branding videos allow them to keep up a strong presence whenever attendees open up the Whova app.
Showcase sponsors with the new sponsor profile page, on both web and mobile
Being able to engage directly with attendees is critical in all formats. With the new sponsor profile page, the sponsors can easily set up their company descriptions, photos, coupons. At the same time, sponsors can set up video presentations, either by attaching a livestream link or uploading videos. What’s more, sponsors can directly interact with attendees on the profile page with instant messages.
This direct engagement can give attendees a strong idea of the advantages of the company, as well as a positive relationship that can lead to potential business partners and recruitment opportunities.

It doesn’t matter how your event will be held, attendees and sponsors alike can easily view sponsor profiles from anywhere. Whether they’re walking across the convention center and want to check the location of a sponsor’s live presentation, or at home looking for a video link, the profile is easily viewable on both the mobile app and web portal.
Majorly increase sponsor visibility with a custom banner
Whova can display the sponsor banners throughout the app, guaranteeing that every attendee will be familiar with your sponsors. This boost in exposure can be a major perk! With the banner featured on every page of the web portal, virtual events can give sponsors even better visibility than they would have even gotten from an in-person event without this feature.
