Smart Classes Sponsorship Opportunities

About Smart Classes

Smart Classes are half-day, knowledge exchange and lead generation events, offering strictly buyer side stakeholders the opportunity to find out exactly how they can deploy the latest innovations, digital technology-enabled solutions, data-driven strategies and best practices to tackle the challenges faced by aspiring smart cities, regions and communities, public service providers and critical infrastructure operators.

Our tried-and-tested format is built around thought-leadership presentations from innovators, in-depth roundtable discussions hosted by the innovator’s teams of experts, and insightful keynotes delivered by inspirational role models. There are further networking opportunities over breakfast, lunch and drinks and we create a warm event environment (often at characterful, out-of-the-box venues) to keep our carefully curated audiences fully engaged. Smart Classes ensure that technology disruptors really can inform, consult and collaborate with the city-regions and key sector leads.

Smart Class Innovation Sponsorship Packages

We’re able to accommodate up to 5 innovators/vendors at each Smart Class in an “Innovation Sponsor” capacity. This opportunity can also be extended to companies who source or advise on innovations, digital technologies, data-driven strategies and best practices that can play a key role in helping our buyer-side delegates to address their transport and mobility, emissions and air quality, public realm, water management, waste management, energy or healthcare challenges.

As a partner expert, innovation sponsorship includes:

• Exclusive representation of a priority topic/field of digital innovation or application;
• Speaking opportunity – Initial 15-20 minute ‘thought leadership’ focused presentation (including short Q&A at the end) delivered by your designated speaker/s NB. You’re also welcome (optional) to involve a customer or partner as a co-speaker to help demonstrate a case study, pilot project or successful collaboration;
• Deeper dive, roundtable sessions hosted by up to 3 representatives from each innovation sponsor with all the key stakeholder delegates in attendance – Your team of experts spend approximately 20 minutes on each table of delegates (usually up to 12 delegates per table x 4 or 5 tables), so up to 100 minutes of quality dedicated roundtable consultations;
• Further networking opportunities over breakfast (30 minutes), lunch (60 minutes) and during drinks break;
• Distribute marketing materials and content collateral (e.g. white-papers, case studies etc) to all attendees on-site;
• Full contact details of delegates (including names, companies, job titles and email addresses) provided immediately after the event;
• Links and logo placement throughout our website and on-screen at the event;
• Promotion across Smart Classes’ social media channels;
• Expert blog feature or article contribution to the Smart Classes’ Knowledge Base;
• Opportunity to invite appropriate guests and priority targets to attend the Smart Class (you can also submit a ‘wish list’ which we can add to our delegate outreach);
• Rich media benefits – Whilst government restrictions capped the number of participants permitted to attend in-person (physical format) events at Covid-Secure venues, we commissioned a professional film maker to capture each speaker’s presentation. This enabled those registrants who ended up on our waiting list (after we reached capacity) to view the presentation videos/recordings post-event. Additional pre-qualified influencers and decision makers (likewise from strictly buyer side stakeholders satisfying our usual delegate qualification criteria) have also been able to register for access to this protected rich content and each innovation sponsor has been provided with a branded copy of their presentation video along with full permissions to use in their own marketing and social media activities. These benefits (introduced back in October 2020) have been retained and will continue to be provided, even now that all remaining restrictions have long since been lifted and we’re permitted to accommodate regular delegate numbers at our live/f2f Smart Classes!
• Post-event exposure and lead generation
  • Within 24 hours of each Smart Class sponsored, we’ll give you access to the event “Photo Album” (featuring pics of your speaker and your roundtable sessions) which you’re welcome to use on your own website and in your own social media activities;
  • We’ll also give each delegate from the day access to your presentation recording, video highlights and slides to reacquaint them with your presentation content, your speaker and your team of experts;
  • This rich media content will also be highlighted in our post-event e-mails and made available to qualifying buyer side stakeholders from the wider Smart Classes community via our series of individual post-event “Retrospective” releases (culminating in a final “Retrospectives Round-Up”), promoted on smartclasses.co (including our Knowledge Base), in “Smart Classes Digest” (our thought leadership e-digest) and across our social media channels;
  • In addition to receiving the live event delegate leads, you’ll also be provided with full contact details of registrants from our delegate waiting list (after we’ve reached regular capacity) and of all the extra stakeholders registering for/given access to the protected rich presentation content for at least 6 weeks after the Smart Class;
  • Stakeholders viewing this rich content post-event are also advised that our innovation sponsors may offer them a follow up consultation opportunity with their experts.

For the 6th year running, £6,950 (excl. VAT if applicable) remains our regular rate for a Smart Class innovation sponsorship slot. Furthermore, we’re currently offering a number of generous discounts off this pricing e.g. for “Early Bird” bookings, “Series” sponsorship commitments, start-up innovators and social enterprises or innovators able to represent certain “high priority” topics in their presentations and roundtable sessions.

As indicated, sponsorship slots are strictly limited to a maximum of 5 per Smart Class and allocated on a first to confirm basis, so don’t miss out! If you believe an Innovation Sponsorship Package with Smart Classes could form a valuable part of your events media plan, please let us know which Smart Classes from our schedule are of particular interest and which specific topics or areas of innovation/application your speakers and experts might like to represent in their presentations and roundtable sessions. We can then let you know whether you qualify for a concessionary rate, confirm next steps and deliverables, and provide you with any further information required to help you to reach a final decision (e.g. testimonials; examples of stakeholders represented amongst the delegates at our previous editions; examples of previous presentation topics; timings on the day; confirmed or likely keynote speakers etc).

We would also be delighted to schedule a call to discuss these opportunities further, address any questions you might have and share thoughts on potential presentation topics/angles. If you’d like to have a chat, please confirm a convenient time/appropriate number and we’ll phone you directly or set up a Zoom meeting. Drop us an e-mail or feel free to reach out on the number below!

Stay Safe, Feel Safe: On 13th October 2020 (after the first national lockdown), Smart Classes became one of the first conference organisers in the UK to successfully resume the hosting of in-person (physical format) business meetings and events in a Covid-Secure environment, fully compliant with existing or evolving Government regulations. Likewise, on 23rd June 2021, Smart Classes hosted one of the first face-to-face events since the easing of “lockdown three” restrictions. As reflected in some of the delegate feedback on our Testimonials page, we were widely praised for delivering safe and high quality experiences for all stakeholders. Following full site inspections, we ensured that our venues strictly followed official health guidelines and implemented a comprehensive range of safety precautions, including: temperature checks for all participants on arrival; extra sanitiser dispensers on tables and throughout the buildings; enhanced cleaning schedules with extra staff constantly disinfecting high volume areas; multiple laminated posters in place in all public areas emphasising the importance of personal hygiene and hand-washing; QR code posters for visitors to scan using the NHS track and trace app; public areas marked to assist with adherence to social distancing regulations; venue staff with access to PPE and fully trained on revised health and safety measures; larger tables to accommodate socially distanced delegates etc. With regards to catering, personalised table service replaced self-service and, to ensure engaging stress free roundtable sessions and networking, we provided full face eye cover visor shields to everybody involved!

As evidenced as recently as this September 7th (2023) in Edinburgh, July 4th in Manchester, May 25th in Leeds, April 26th in London, February 9th in Belfast/Holywood, last (2022) December 7th in Glasgow, November 10th in Birmingham, October 6th in London, September 9th in Manchester, July 7th in London, June 17th in Leeds, May 26th in Cardiff, April 28th in Bristol, March 30th in London, February 24th in Nottingham, and the previous (2021) December 8th in Edinburgh, October 7th in London and September 10th in Manchester (when we respectively hosted TRANSPORT Smart Class, Scotland 2023; PUBLIC REALM & URBAN SPACES Smart Class 2023; TRANSPORT Smart Class, North of England 2023; EMISSIONS & AIR QUALITY Smart Class 2023; TRANSPORT Smart Class, Northern Ireland 2023; TRANSPORT Smart Class, Scotland 2022; WATER MANAGEMENT Smart Class 2022; TRANSPORT Smart Class, London & South East England 2022; TRANSPORT Smart Class, North of England 2022; PUBLIC REALM & URBAN SPACES Smart Class 2022; EMISSIONS & AIR QUALITY Smart Class, North 2022; TRANSPORT Smart Class, Wales 2022; TRANSPORT Smart Class, South West England 2022; EMISSIONS & AIR QUALITY Smart Class, South 2022; TRANSPORT Smart Class, Midlands 2022; and our 2021 TRANSPORT Smart Classes for Scotland, the North of England and London & South East England), the venues for our other scheduled Smart Classes are also still required to operate an event compliant ‘Covid-Secure Standards Charter’ and to remain vigilant even now that (since August 2021) all legal limits on social contact have been removed and all forms of hospitality premises are permitted to open without restrictions. For example, we continue to ask all delegates to ensure that they are fully vaccinated or have had a negative covid test within 48 hours of a Smart Class; bottles of hand sanitiser are still included on all tables; and we’re continuing to make full face-visor shields available to those who prefer to wear a face covering during the roundtable discussions.

NB. If any Smart Classes in your sponsorship commitment have to be rescheduled (e.g. due to a national or localised lockdown at the time of the event) your booking for the affected edition/s will be transferred to the revised date once we’ve ensured that the revised date works for you and for our other sponsors. So we guarantee that you’ll be consulted and actively involved in the decision process before any new dates are fixed in stone to avoid clashes with other commitments you might have (holidays and other industry events, for example).

It was also good to discuss how important it is to engage with people…For us, digital engagement is a tool rather than an approach. Early and meaningful engagement is going to be vital as cities introduce transformative change through Mini Hollands and liveable neighbourhoods.
