City Nation Place Asia Pacific offers a limited number of partnership opportunities for companies targeting government, tourism, economic development and investment promotion decision makers. You will benefit from a tailor-made package of engagement – including the opportunity to showcase your expertise through a presentation or exhibition presence and to generate leads through online and face-to-face networking.
WHY PARTNER WITH CITY NATION PLACE?
It is notoriously difficult to identify the decision makers for place making, place marketing and place branding. Every city, regional and national government structures their approach differently and assigns responsibility to different departments or organisations. We continue to build and verify our audience organically – through research, through content marketing, through alliances and partnerships and through word of mouth. Partnership with City Nation Place provides an opportunity to reach and to talk to key influencers and purchasers of services.
City Nation Place works with our partners as partners – not just as sponsors with a logo. We will work with you to integrate your expertise into our website, newsletter and event editorial offering.
We will tailor your partnership programme to meet your objectives: your presence on the City Nation Place website, your involvement in our event agendas, your exhibition presence will all be structured to provide valuable introductions and leads. You will have access to our events’ online networking hubs in the month either side of the conference date, providing an active opportunity to message targeted attendees to arrange to meet or discuss follow-up activity.
