Job Functions
Spotlight your Brand and Enhance your Networking with Sponsorship Opportunities
The Energy Projects Show is the number one event for meeting engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) professionals, project developers, and owner/operators. Here’s how you can make the most of the experience through sponsorship:
Showcase your technology in the exhibition: With 40% of the audience being owner/operators or engineering and construction EPCs, there’s no better place to showcase your solutions!
Host a solution-led workshop: Share your expertise in an interactive workshop discussion with project leaders.
Deliver a case study: Complex engineering and construction projects need cutting-edge solutions — showcase a success story on how you delivered projects on time and on budget.
Unlock premium networking opportunities with the 1-1 meeting service: Our 1-2-1 meetings team will work with you to identify key engineering, construction, and project companies you’d like to meet from our attendee list. They will then work on your behalf to secure a series of face-to-face meetings onsite at the event (either at your booth or the dedicated meetings lounge). In 2025, the team set up 2,000+ individual meetings between exhibitors/sponsors and attendees.
