Corporate Partnership Scheme

The BTS will be offering two levels of Corporate Sponsorship in 2024.

There are two tiers of sponsorship and they come with a corresponding increase in benefits – Silver (£8,000 per annum) and Gold (£16,000 per annum). For 2024 we are offering our partners the opportunity to enhance their sponsorship to support our focus on sustainability and carbon offsetting.

Benefits of Gold Partnership

Gold level sponsors have the right to stage a 40 minute symposium at the Annual Congress. These sponsored symposia are scheduled to take place with no other BTS parallel sessions. As a result they are very well attended with over 200 delegates on most days. There are four of these available at the 2024 annual congress in Harrogate (6 to 8 March). Only Gold Corporate partners are able to host these symposia, and for 2024 they will cost an additional £20,000 each.
