How to use the finder in four steps

  1. Describe your event. Open the sponsor finder. Pick an industry and a place, or type your conference's name or website. You are done when the page names the conferences it compared.
  2. Read the top of the list. The companies at the top back the most events like yours. They likely have a budget line for it and know what a sponsorship buys.
  3. Check each company. Open its page to see where it sponsors, at which level when the list shows one, and which events it has booked next.
  4. Price your offer before you write. Compare your packages with published sponsorship prices, then lay it out with the proposal template. You are done when you have a named company, a reason to pitch it and a price.

A worked example

An organizer planning a healthcare conference leaves the place on Anywhere and picks Healthcare & Medicine. On 10 November 2026 the finder listed 505 companies at 2 or more of 453 healthcare conferences, 364 of them as a named sponsor or partner. The organizer starts with those 364, since a company that has paid for a named package is likely closer to the sale than one that only booked a booth, then narrows by place if the event is regional.

The limits

  • It shows 50 companies per search. Narrow by place or event for a different set.
  • It knows who was listed, and not what any company paid or whether it will return.
  • It only sees conferences with a public list, so it leans toward events that publish their sponsors.
  • Lists are read by software from the organizers' pages and can be wrong. Check a company's page before you pitch it.
  • No file export, and no contact names, emails or phone numbers.

How this was counted

A company counts at a conference when that conference lists it as a sponsor, partner or exhibitor on an edition ConferenceDB publishes. The finder needs at least 3 comparable conferences before it shows a result, because fewer is not a pattern.

Questions

Is the sponsor finder free?

Yes. You need no account and no email.

Does it give me contact details?

No. It shows companies, their websites and the conferences they back. Find the right person on the company's own website or LinkedIn; the sponsorship or partnerships team is usually the place to start.

How is this different from a list of top sponsors?

The top sponsors list ranks companies across every conference. The finder compares only conferences like yours, so a company that backs ten healthcare events ranks above a bigger name that has never been to one. See the top conference sponsors.

What if my event is not in the database?

Pick its industry and place instead of typing its name. The finder then compares the listed conferences that match.

Find the companies behind these numbers

Free, no account. Companies only, never named people.

Pick an industry and a place, or type your conference, and see the companies that sponsor or exhibit at the most conferences like it.
