tools forevents

Running an event in San Francisco? We sponsor the room: white tables, monitors, speakers, merch and our banner, plus free insurance checks for anyone who wants one.

Everything but
the guest list.

You bring the people and the program. We bring the gear that turns an empty floor into an event.

  • A demo on one of our white folding tables by the window

    White tables

    36+ Lifetime white folding tables for demos, check-in, food and anything else that needs a surface.

  • Two monitors showing the event title and its sponsors

    Monitors

    10+ screens for demos, slides, a sponsor loop and the welcome screen at the door.

  • A JBL PartyBox speaker beside a demo table

    Speakers

    JBL PartyBox speakers, enough sound for 15,000+ sq ft.

  • Black caps embroidered with The Hardware Showcase of San Francisco

    Merch

    Things your guests take home, like the embroidered caps we made for The Hardware Showcase.

  • Our banner inside a blue and black balloon arch at the entrance

    Our banner

    Our banner goes up in the room. It is most of what we ask for in return.

  • A one-on-one at a table, papers laid out between them

    Insurance checks

    A Spot table where founders get a free look at their company’s insurance: what they have, what’s missing and what they might be overpaying for.

Three steps
to a sponsored night.

  1. Tell us about the event

    Date, venue, headcount and what kind of night it is. A 15-minute call is usually enough.

  2. We plan the kit

    Tables, screens and merch, worked out against your floor plan.

  3. We show up

    We bring the kit on the day and run the insurance table.

The Hardware Showcase
of San Francisco.

October 7 at 795 Folsom St, during SF Tech Week. Our tables, screens, caps and banners, and the builders who filled them. About the night ↗.

Nights we’ve run.

Dinners, mixers and meetups we hosted ourselves. Everything we bring to your event, we’ve set up for our own.

Before you ask.

What do you ask for in return?

Our banner in the room and space for the insurance table.

What is an insurance check?

A short conversation with someone from Spot, the insurance software we build. Tell us what your company has today and we’ll say what looks right, what’s missing and whether you’re likely overpaying. There’s no obligation.

Where do you sponsor events?

San Francisco, for now.

How do I apply?

Book a 15-minute call, or email adyan@spot.insure with the date, venue and expected headcount.
