Please explore the sponsorship and partnership levels and benefits below to find the package that best meets your needs, or contact us to explore alternative opportunities.
Your Sponsorship’s Impact
Demonstrate Support
Your DIRC sponsorship demonstrates your commitment to supporting tangible change for the growing community of individuals who care deeply about DEI, and who share a common aspiration for a more inclusive and equitable society.
Create Visibility
DIRC’s hybrid virtual format supports a larger and geographically broader audience: we anticipate an international audience of several hundred attendees. Our audience includes corporate DEI leaders, DEI practitioners, academics, students, policymakers, entrepreneurs, members of the media and many other people interested in DEI.
Enjoy Year-round Exposure
All DIRCcontent will be open to the public, usually a few months after the event, providing evergreen content that will continue to draw unlimited audiences, ensuring sustained and extended viewing of your materials.
DIRC will allocate 15% of all sponsorships and ticket sales to speaker honoraria. You can read our blog post describing our unique approach to allocating speaker fees equitably.
