Manage event sponsorship

Open the Sponsorship dialog

1. Open the Admin Panel and click Rooms in the left sidebar.
2. Find the room you want to manage and click the handshake icon in the room's Actions column.

The Sponsorship dialog opens with two tabs: Sponsor Data and Placements.

Sponsor Data tab

The Sponsor Data tab shows two sections:

1. • Reusable Sponsor Data — lists sponsors previously saved for other events. Once a sponsor is saved for one event, it becomes available here for reuse across events.
   • This Event Sponsors — lists sponsors currently assigned to this event, with a count of sponsor records and a + New Sponsor button.

Add a new sponsor

1. Click + New Sponsor in the This Event Sponsors section.

2. Fill in the sponsor details:

   • Sponsor Title — the sponsor's display name.
   • Sponsor Type — select a tier from the dropdown (e.g. Gold, Silver, Bronze).
   • Description — a short description of the sponsor.
   • Sponsor Logo — a URL to the sponsor's logo image, or upload one.
   • Sponsor Card Image — a URL to the sponsor's card image, or upload one.
   • Sponsor Link — the URL visitors are directed to when they click the sponsor.
   • Button Title — the label on the sponsor's call-to-action button (e.g. "Learn More", "Visit IBM").
   • Card can be shown — check this box to make the sponsor card visible.
   • Display Order — a number that controls the order sponsors appear (lower numbers appear first).

3. Click Save Sponsor to create the record, or Cancel to discard.

After saving, the sponsor appears in the This Event Sponsors section with its logo, name, tier, status, and a Choose button. Click the delete icon to remove a sponsor.

You can add multiple sponsors to a single event. Each sponsor card shows its logo, name, tier, and status.

Placements tab

The Placements tab controls where sponsor cards appear on the platform. You must create at least one sponsor before placements become available.

Once sponsors are added, the Placements tab displays two sections — Event Details Page and Associated Rooms — each listing every sponsor with toggleable placement types:

| Placement type | Description | | ------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ | | Logo Bar | Displays the sponsor logo in a horizontal bar. | | Skyscraper | A tall vertical ad placement alongside content. | | Inline Compact | A small inline placement within the content area. | | Header Logo | Displays the sponsor logo in the page header. | | Floating Notification | A floating notification card that appears on screen. | | Native Card | A sponsor card styled to match the platform's native layout. | | Banner Hero | A large banner placement in the hero section. | | Sidebar Tile | A tile placement in the sidebar area. | | Message Strip | A horizontal message strip placement. |

Click any placement type to toggle it on (highlighted in purple) or off for each sponsor in each section independently.
