Partnership Time Period
Society Corporate Partnerships have a term of one year, commencing on January 1st.
Corporate Partnership Scheme
The BTS will be offering two levels of Corporate Sponsorship next year.
Essentially there are two tiers of sponsorship and they come with a corresponding increase in benefits, Silver (£7,500 per annum) and Gold (£15,000 per annum).
Benefits of Gold Partnership
The advantage of Gold level sponsorship is the right to stage a 45 minute symposium at the Annual Congress held only once each day and with no other BTS scheduled parallel sessions. As a result they are very well attended with over 200 delegates on most days. There are two of these available at each annual congress. Only Gold Corporate partners are able to host these symposia and will cost an additional £20,000 each.
