The European Sponsorship Association (ESA) today announces the official launch of the 2015 ESA Summit, taking place on Wednesday 18th November at the Royal College of Medicine, 1 Wimpole Street, London. Early bird tickets are on sale as from today, priced at £425 (members) and £535 (non-members), with a special overseas early bird rate also available. The early bird discount will run until Friday 4th September 2015.
The 2015 ESA Summit, supported by Repucom, will focus on the question of whether the long-standing “official” sponsorship model now has to change as direct-to-consumer and consumer-to-consumer models become more ubiquitous.
The Summit will feature keynote speakers, four panel sessions and, for the first time, an exciting “US Presidential” style opening debate that aims to set the tone for the rest of the conference.
Keynote speakers and other guests will be fully revealed over the coming weeks, as will further details about the event.
“This year’s Summit represents the modern ESA perfectly – engaging, enlightened and unafraid to ask the difficult questions that our industry should be discussing and debating” commented Karen Earl, ESA Chairman. “We’ve got some truly great speakers lined up that cross all areas of sponsorship and engagement marketing, from sport through to the arts. And with a new timeslot in November, and an amazing venue in the Royal College of Medicine, I’m excited about this year’s gathering and the answers, and further questions, that our theme will reveal”.
The early bird discount is now available to both members and non-members, with the price of tickets as follows:
- Members – £425 (+VAT)
- Non-members – £535 (+VAT)
- A special overseas rate is also available, details of which are available by contacting ESA directly at esaoffice@sponsorship.org
Tickets can be purchased via the ESA website here, and more information on the 2015 ESA Summit, including the recent launch event, can be found here.
Speakers and other guests will be announced in due course over the coming weeks via the ESA website www.sponsorship.org, as well as through the ESA Twitter feed (@EuropSponsAssoc #ESASummit15)
