Sponsorship Opportunities

SPACES is focused on delivering outcomes for the public sector irrespective of individual’s professional background or whether they are employed by the public or private sector and has the senior support of CIBSE, RIBA and RICS.

There are a number of opportunities to support SPACES at its events/activities, including

  • Study Day
  • Yearbook
  • Awards
  • Regional/Technical Meeting

Study Day

Our Study Day is very much a ‘nuts-and-bolts, hands-on’ event with the emphasis on real experiences and lessons learned (very popular with delegates). The day is interspersed with workshops and case studies and is a great opportunity to share knowledge and information and to learn best practice from around the country and make new networks.

The day is attended by those responsible for managing Architecture, Construction, Engineering and Surveying services for the Public Sector. We also attract clients, local authorities and other associated bodies (eg Department for Education, Cabinet Office, etc.).

Our Study Days provide an excellent opportunity to showcase your company in a professional and relaxed environment with other sponsors from the industry, with over 120 attendees.

There are the following sponsorship opportunities

  • £3000 (exc VAT) Full Sponsorship
  • £1250 (exc VAT) Exhibiting
  • £500 (exc VAT) Room Exhibiting
  • £1000 (exc VAT) Pre-event dinner and networking

A summary list can be found below.

Yearbook

Following national submissions for projects which have received an element of public funding a yearbook is produced with the best of UK Construction Projects. This yearbook is circulated to every Local Authority and Local Education Authority as well as other public sector organisations.

Our yearbook offers a great opportunity for your company to show its involvement in UK Public Sector Construction by advertising.

  • £500 (exc VAT) per quarter page spread.

  • £1500 (exc VAT) per full page spread
  • £2100 (exc VAT) for a full page spread and a table at the President’s Dinner and Awards.

National Awards

Based upon submissions to the annual yearbook, a short list is made of those projects that are eligible to enter the SPACES Awards (incorporating the Civic Building of the Year Awards).

There are opportunities to sponsor an award or to host a table at the dinner. To sponsor an award:

  • £1000 (exc VAT) – Civic Building of the Year, and includes being thanked during the proceedings and in the yearbook/website and 2 places at the dinner.

Regional and Technical Meetings

As well as national meetings, SPACES have meetings / CPD events in its regions/hubs (London and the South East, Southwest, Midlands, Eastern, Northwest, Northeast and Scotland) and/or disciplines (engineering, architecture and surveying). These meetings are set up by members with the assistance of the hub coordinators and the SPACES manager. These meetings are organic with format best decided by those in the region but typically are hosted by a company/local authority and have a CPD element and where possible a visit (or are held) in a building of interest.

There are opportunities to sponsor the refreshments and give presentations.
