Benefits of Sponsorships and Partnerships

Demonstrate Support

Your DIRC25 sponsorship demonstrates your commitment to supporting tangible change for the growing community of individuals who care deeply about creating true meritocracies for all, and who share a common aspiration for a more inclusive and equitable society.  

Create Visibility

DIRC25’s virtual format supports a larger and geographically more diverse audience: we expect several hundred attendees, including corporate leaders, practitioners, academics, students, policymakers, entrepreneurs, journalists and others interested in these topics.

Enjoy Lasting Exposure

A few months after the live event, DIRC25 content will be made available to the public, providing evergreen content that will continue to draw global audiences, ensuring sustained and extended viewing of your brand.

DIRC allocates a portion of all sponsorships and ticket sales to presenter honoraria.
