Sponsor Program Information
We’re excited about hosting the only customer experience event specifically focused on social and mobile engagement.

We’re looking for a few good partners

A FIRST FOR SOCIAL & MOBILE EXPERIENCE
While there are other customer experience events none focus specifically on social and mobile engagement.
We feel customer experience professionals providing social and mobile engagement have grown tired of reading cases and attending events that primarily feature more traditional information.
We want to provide something more relevant and useful to social and mobile engagement companies. That’s why we created this event.
The Social Mobile Engagement Conference will focus on the unique challenges associated with context, the mobile and social customer journey, new wearable technology form factors, and other characteristics that affect customer relationships.
The partner program will reflect this focus, we want to include companies that
Our intent is to partner with companies that are willing to contribute to the program while promoting their solutions in an informative way.
With this in mind we are reaching out to you because we believe you can contribute meaningful content that will relevant to attendees of the event.
understand these unique challenges and can showcase solutions that are effective in the social and mobile engagement ecosystem.
DESIGNED TO GET PARTNERS INVOLVED
At many conferences the partners seem to be somewhat of an afterthought, recruited primarily for their financial contribution. In contrast we want to make it easy for partners to participate and involve them in the event.
We have established several different levels of involvement and have included several components to ensure they receive visibility for their solutions and opportunity to share their perspectives.
INTERESTED IN DOING MORE?
We’re happy to discuss other options such as hosting one of the sessions or other programs during the Conference.
Just let us know and together we’ll consider ways to enhance the event and provide additional exposure for your organization.
