A sponsorship tier — Gold, Silver, Partner — is a named package of perks. Assign a tier to an exhibitor and every person on that company’s staff roster holds the tier’s perks, the same way a ticket type grants its perks. Confirmed sponsors are included in the public sponsors list. Open Exhibition → Sponsorships after enabling the Exhibition module. A sponsor is an exhibitor: a company can sponsor without exhibiting, exhibit without sponsoring, or both. It is the same company record either way.

​
Create a tier

1

Name it

Choose Create tier and enter the name. Everything else is configured on the tier’s page.
2

Fill in the basics

  • Name.
  • Agreed amount — the contract figure in the event’s currency, kept for the record. Nothing is charged through the platform. Sponsorship is not sold at checkout.
  • Description.
3

Choose the perks in the package

Perks in the package lists the event’s perks with a checkbox each. Select what the package includes — a “Sponsor lounge” perk that a gated venue honours, a “Sponsor dinner” perk a gated session requires, a gift to redeem on site. A perk already in the package stays selectable after it is archived, so it can be unticked but not re-added.
Companies at this tier on the same page is read-only: it lists the companies holding the tier with their exhibitor status. Assignment is made from the company’s side.

​
Assign a tier to a company

Open the exhibitor’s page and find the Sponsorship card. Choose the tier, or Not a sponsor to remove one. A company holds one tier at a time. The card lists active tiers only. A company already on an archived tier still sees that tier offered, marked archived, so saving the page does not unassign it.

​
What the sponsor’s staff receive

Every registration on the company’s staff roster holds the tier’s perks, on top of whatever their own ticket grants. The grant is live, not a snapshot: change the package and every sponsoring company’s staff update with it; move a company to another tier and its staff follow. Nothing needs to be re-sent. Each of these must be in place: the person is on the roster, the company is in the event (pending or confirmed), the tier is active, and the perks themselves are active. A cancelled or archived company’s staff hold nothing from the tier. Perks a person holds through a tier appear on their attendee page and at the check-in desk like any other perk.

​
The sponsors wall

The event page can show a sponsors wall. Public event data from the Storefront API or the Developer API includes a sponsors list: each confirmed company holding an active tier, with its name, its logo from the exhibitor profile, and the tier’s name. Companies are grouped in tier order — the order the tiers were created in — and alphabetically within a tier. A company without a logo appears by name. A pending company is not on the wall. The sponsorship is not settled until the exhibitor is confirmed.

​
Lifecycle

Archive and Restore switch between the two. Tiers are never deleted — companies point at them.

​
Rules to know

  • One company, one tier. Choose a different tier to replace it. There is no stacking.
  • Perks are live. Editing the package or changing a company’s tier takes effect immediately for every affected staff member.
  • Only confirmed companies appear on the sponsors wall, and only on active tiers.
  • The agreed amount is a note, not a charge. No order, no payment, no ledger entry.
  • Tiers are archived, never deleted. An archived tier disappears from the picker for new assignments only.
  • Tier bindings are edited on the tier’s page. Which company holds a tier is edited on the exhibitor’s page.
