Supporting Level Sponsorship
GSCA Closing Party: $8,000
This event is always memorable and one that delegates look forward to the entire conference! With live music and a lively atmosphere, your company will be at the center of the industry’s conversations.

Dome Day Luncheon: $8,000
A packed schedule awaits delegates during Dome Day at the McWane Science Center in Birmingham, AL. Engage delegates at the McWane Science Center with a sponsorship that includes addressing the group during lunch and customizing table decor.
Lanyards and Name Badges: $8,000
Not only do delegates wear their lanyard and name badge every day at the conference, but this noticeable item is also featured in nearly every photo taken at the conference. You’ll have 300 human billboards advertising your company during the event! Customize these items with your company or film name, logo, or any special design or coloring you choose.
SOLD – Thank you, MacGillivray Freeman Films!
Reception: $8,000
Networking is one of the most valuable aspects of the conference, and time to socialize is precious at GSCA events. Host a reception to bring delegates together, provide them with some much-needed appetizers and beverages after a long day of screenings and sessions, and get them talking about your latest film, product, or service.
Conference Program: $5,000
This 5 x 7-inch program is packed with the schedule, film descriptions, contact information for distributors and producers, professional development and innovations session descriptions, and session presenter biographies. If it’s going on at the conference, this is where you will find it. Delegates refer to the program many times each day of the conference, and each time they open it, they’ll see your logo on every page. Plus, you get a full-page advertisement. Conference survey results tell us that most delegates use the program for up to a year after the conference.
Elevator Wraps: $5,000 (Production not included)
All delegates will use the elevators at the host hotel. They can’t be turned off or discarded. Messages on the elevator wraps are the first and last thing people see as they wait for and leave the elevator. Make your message visible to all delegates repeatedly during the Conference!
SOLD – Thank you, SK Films!
Films in Production/Projects in Development: $5,000
The films in production and projects in development sessions are always among the most highly attended sessions at GSCA events. Theaters make future programming decisions, filmmakers get feedback on their upcoming projects via film buyer surveys, distributors make decisions on which films they want to represent, and the entire industry wants to see what’s in the pipeline. Your sponsorship gets your message in front of one of the largest audiences at the event.
SOLD – Thank you, IMAX Corporation!
Mobile App: $5,000
The mobile app has been a huge hit at previous GSCA events. It gives delegates electronic access to all the schedule information, session descriptions, film descriptions and contact information, as well as instant updates if there are schedule changes or other messages that need to be communicated. Brand your company’s information throughout this mobile app.
SOLD – Thank you, Christie Digital!
Professional Development Sessions: $5,000
The GSCA’s Professional Development Sessions are always well attended by a good cross-section of delegates. Show your support of the GSCA’s continuing education and development of the industry. Sponsorship does not allow input or direction on the session itself, but the sponsor will be able to introduce the session and speak to the delegates about your company’s contributions to the industry.
SOLD – Thank you, Cosm!
Pocket Schedule: $5,000
Delegates turn to the pocket schedule repeatedly to see what is happening next at the conference. Your logo appears at the bottom of every panel, and the entire back panel is devoted to your advertisement.
Registration and Information Desk: $5,000
Eventually, every single attendee ends up at the registration and information desk during the conference. It’s the conference gathering place. An area is devoted to registering people and handling queries about the conference, both at the hotel and at the theatre. Drape your logo over the door, play your soundtrack or trailer on a loop, display your key art—the opportunities are endless.
Theater Break: $3,000
Caffeine is essential during the long, event-filled days and nights of the GSCA conference. Perk up your colleagues with a freshly brewed cup of coffee or two. There are several ways to individualize this coffee bar: cup wraps, signature brew, tickets to redeem a prize only available at the coffee bar, and more.
