// Why sponsors choose Shift AI
Traditional conference sponsorships are noisy. Shift AI is built around engineered outcomes — pre-scheduled meetings with qualified founders, category ownership, and intimate experiences that create real pipeline.
Pre-scheduled, double opt-in, one-to-one meetings with qualified founders and operators in your ICP. Not badge scans — real pipeline.
One sponsor per category. Exclusive naming rights, stage presence, and digital ownership of the conversation that defines your space.
72% founder or C-suite. 70% running companies at $1M+ ARR. 36% above $10M. The signal-to-noise ratio isn’t a feature — it’s the product.
Main stage keynotes, content track sessions, and Tabletalks roundtables — position your team as the thought leader in your category.
Welcome parties, investor dinners, private dinners for 20 top prospects, and bespoke VIP experiences — the conversations that actually change things.
Sponsor both Shift Europe (Barcelona) and Shift USA (Austin) in a single package at 25% below the combined single-event rate.
