Fast facts to become a sponsor

Sponsorship Requirement: Focus on Artificial Intelligence

Please focus your content on artificial intelligence, applications powered by AI and subtopics such as machine learning. We understand that AI may power only a portion of your overall capabilities and you will need to explain your broader value proposition to provide context. We will vet presentations to ensure they focus primarily on the role of artificial intelligence in your products and services. 

Presenters: Must focus on specific AI-enabled tools you provide today – or will provide over the next 12-24 months – that will help distributors grow sales and profits, increase productivity and improve working capital performance. DSG will vet all presentation materials in advance to ensure they are not “sales pitches.” All presenters must be approved by DSG and should be from your technical team. 

Sponsors: All exhibitors must prominently feature AI-powered capabilities. Please focus demos, conversations and exhibits around AI. Marketing material to promote the show and used at the event should feature AI.

  • Priority selection of your presentation spot on the agenda
  • Priority for table selection in the Sponsor Hall
  • Additional promotional exposure
  • Option to submit a 2-minute intro video featured on DSG Social media channels
