State of Quantum Readiness Summit
Sponsors · 2026 edition

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 12 pods — no buy-your-way-bigger booths — and earn a moderated panel seat as earned authority, never a bought keynote. The editorial program is out of scope, by policy and by charter.

Tier comparison

All four tiers, side by side.

Quick scan of what each tier includes — investment, delegate passes, showcase footprint, editorial-safe panel seat, hospitality, and Charter Cohort recognition.

Editorial neutrality applies to every tier — sponsors never buy a keynote (QCI charter, Clause 3).

Charter Cohort 2026

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 refusal
    Your tier, category, and hospitality asset are held for you first in 2027 — before the room opens to anyone else.
  • 2027 rate lock
    Renew at the 2026 price when the room and the price grow. Charter status is the only path to that rate.
  • Permanent charter listing
    Named 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.

Named hospitality assets

A la carte, or added to a tier.

The reception, lunch, and breakfast are included with the Founding, Governance, and Ecosystem tiers. These remaining named moments are available to any sponsor, on their own or added to a tier. Hospitality naming carries no editorial content and no speaking role.
