Plutopia 2011 offers multiple opportunities for sponsorship at a number of different levels. The sponsorship income covers the costs of the venue, food, drinks, production, performers, artists, staging and all amenities.

We prefer active sponsors, that is to say, companies who provide interactive content and other resources that augment the event or find unique ways of leveraging Plutopia rather than simply giving money.

This is a great marketing opportunity offering a set of unique benefits that can be leveraged in line with any sponsor’s specific brand strategies!
