WELLNESS LOUNGE
$12,500

Be the sponsor that brings wellness to BCIEW 2026! This highly customizable opportunity provides a space for your team’s wellness ideas, from product giveaways to massage chairs and more. This package includes two complimentary full conference passes, prominent signage provided by BCCIE, a verbal acknowledgement in the opening remarks, and digital and print promotion.

Please note that the sponsor is responsible for arranging and paying for all wellness initiatives. Please contact conference@bccie.bc.ca for further information.

LANYARDS
$7,000

All delegates receive lanyards with their name badges and are required to wear them throughout BCIEW. This is a high-visibility sponsorship opportunity. As our exclusive lanyard sponsor, you will be consulted in the design process of the lanyards and will have your logo prominently displayed.

 

HOTEL KEY CARDS
$5,000

The sponsor of this exclusive opportunity will have their logo displayed on the hotel key cards of delegates staying at the Delta Hotels Grand Okanagan Resort. This year’s key cards will be made from wood, providing an opportunity to support a sustainable initiative to reduce single use plastics.

WI-FI
$4,000

Wi-Fi is an essential part of keeping delegates engaged and connected. As the Wi-Fi sponsor you will choose the  password for the BCIEW network and users will be directed to your organization’s website after logging in. Wi-Fi users will be required to reconnect after a period of inactivity, providing repeated visibility for your organization throughout BCIEW. Your sponsorship will also be acknowledged through print materials at the registration desk and in session rooms.

BCIEW MOBILE APP
$3,000

Secure the opportunity to put your organization in front of  delegates as they use our mobile app to navigate BCIEW. As the official app sponsor, your organization will be showcased in the mobile app and in an e-blast acknowledgement when the app is officially launched.

VOLUNTEER LOUNGE
$2,000

Sponsor a comfortable space for volunteers to start and end their shifts and spend time between volunteer duties. BCCIE will stock the lounge with snacks and beverages as a  part of your sponsorship! Benefits also include recognition on our website, onsite signage, and verbal recognition at the conference. There is also an optional opportunity to  brand the volunteer t-shirts for an additional charge.

REGISTRATION
$1,500

All delegates will see your organization’s sponsorship of this opportunity when they register online and when they arrive in person. Signage at the registration desk will be  prominently displayed throughout the event.

BURSARY SPONSORSHIP
$1,025

Bursaries offer an ideal way to give back to the international education community and provide a wonderful networking opportunity to a deserving professional. With sponsorship of a bursary, you are enabling the participation of someone who may not otherwise be able to attend the conference. Your generous contribution will be acknowledged by your logo being displayed as a Bursary sponsor on the BCIEW website.

Please note that this opportunity must be selected before the bursary application deadline of April 8, 2026.
