Category Exclusivity

Premier Sponsorship provides exclusive top-tier sponsorship positioning within the selected category. Once a category is secured, another competing company will not be accepted as a Premier Category Sponsor during that 12-month term. Other businesses in the same category may still participate as Listed Vendors, Annual Listed Vendors, or Event Sponsors unless otherwise agreed. Category availability changes over time — confirm with Natalie before purchasing if you want to be sure your category is open.

Important

Paid vendor listings and sponsorships are advertising opportunities and do not constitute an endorsement, guarantee, or recommendation by the Meetup or its organizers. Sponsor speaking time should provide useful information to attendees and not be solely a sales presentation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Good to know before you sign up.

What if another business in my category already has Premier Sponsorship?

Premier Category Sponsorship is exclusive to two businesses per category for a 12-month term. If that's filled, you can still participate as a Listed Vendor, Annual Listed Vendor, or Event Sponsor. Check with Natalie for current category availability.

Will I get attendees' contact information?

Only for attendees who specifically opt in to receive sponsor communications — sponsorship does not include the full attendee list.

Does sponsoring mean the Meetup endorses my business?

No. Paid sponsorships and listings are advertising opportunities and do not constitute an endorsement, guarantee, or recommendation by the Meetup or its organizers.

Have Questions First?
