CS Connect doesn't sell speaking slots. We don't run pay-to-pitch sponsorships. We don't share member data. But for the right partner — one that genuinely wants to support a senior CS audience without pitching them — there are three ways to be part of what we're building.
Sponsors don't get the stage. Experts are curated based on what they know, not who paid. This is non-negotiable.
You don't get our member database. Ever. Members joined for confidentiality and we honour that.
No product demos, no hard sales pitches during events. A banner or a logo when you've helped make an event happen is welcome. A pitch to a captive room is not.
The rules above apply to every sponsor at every level. If you need an exception, this isn't the community for you. We say that without judgement.
Each format is designed to add value to members first, and to give partners real visibility without compromising trust.
Underwrite a Circle in a chapter city. Your venue, your dinner, your hospitality. The community gets a great evening, you get to host CS leaders in your city. We attribute the venue. No speaking, no pitching.
A year-long partnership across multiple chapters and channels. Logo placement on the events calendar and website. Mention in our newsletter and post-event recaps. Quarterly co-branded research or content.
Underwrite a written research brief, published independently with our editorial control. The brief acknowledges your support and discusses themes relevant to your category. No product mentions, no calls-to-action.
Tell us what you're hoping to achieve and we'll be honest about whether CS Connect is the right fit. No deck attached, no follow-up sequence.
