Summit Sponsorship: support the room. Meet the room.
200 accountable buyers. One room. No parallel tracks. Everyone hears everything, and everyone is in the hallway between sessions, under the neutrality of an independent standards body. Sponsors sit on a uniform, QCI-designed showcase floor capped at 15 pods, with no buy-your-way-bigger booths. Founding and Governance partners receive a reserved moderated panel seat as a tier benefit. Keynotes and the editorial program remain out of scope, by policy and by charter.

Founding seat.
Same price, permanent position.
Inaugural edition · Awarded once
Founding and Governance partners of the inaugural summit are named the Charter Cohort, a title that is awarded once, in 2026, and never re-issued.
- First right of refusalYour tier, category, and hospitality asset are held for you first in 2027, before the room opens to anyone else.
- 2027 rate lockRenew at the 2026 price when the room and the price grow. Charter status is the only path to that rate.
- Permanent charter listingNamed on the QCI summit charter page in perpetuity as a founding partner of the inaugural edition.
You are not buying a discount. You are buying the founding seat. Once the 2026 room closes, the Charter Cohort closes with it.
Beyond summit day
Twelve months of visibility, not one day.
Founding and Governance partners join the QCI content calendar for the year around the summit. Partners appear as featured guests. QCI keeps editorial control of every episode, feature, and report, and keynotes stay out of scope.
