The European Sponsorship Association (ESA) is the essential and inclusive community for all professionals working in sponsorship.
We inspire more successful sponsorships, drive confidence in decision making and grow a diverse community through world-leading education, events and resources, industry connections and recognition of excellence.
A not-for-profit membership association, ESA’s reach encompasses all types of sponsorship activity from sport, broadcast, education, charity, arts and culture to environment and the community. Its members include sponsors, rights holders, agencies and consultants, professional advisors and suppliers.
ESA has a broad range of Working Groups and Workstreams, some of which comprise Board Directors and staff members while others are inclusive of the wider ESA membership. Each has a specific focus with oversight of one area of ESA activities.
ESA also has a National Representatives group which brings together the various national sponsorship associations that share ESA’s mission of upholding high standards within the industry across the continent.
In this section you can discover out more about these various groups as well as ESA’s commitments with respect to Corporate Responsibility.
