How do I see what a conference sponsorship costs?
If your company is deciding what to sponsor, open the conference's page on ConferenceDB and read its published packages, level by level, with no account. 1,648 conferences have prices. To judge one, compare it with the benchmark: across 1,294 conferences publishing in US dollars, the cheapest package has a median of $2,000. If a show publishes nothing, ask its organizer for the prospectus.
Quick picks: what do you need to know?
| You want | Go to | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| One conference you have in mind | Its conference page | Every package it published, by level, with the source |
| Whether a price is high or low | Sponsorship prices | Medians by level and by industry |
| What events your size charge | Cost by conference size | Cheapest and top package by event size |
| What a booth costs, not a sponsorship | Trade show booth cost | The cheapest booth, table or space fee shows publish |
How to see a price in four steps
- Find the conference. Search by name, or open all conferences. You are done when its dates and city are at the top of the page.
- Read the price range. Key facts gives the cheapest package and the top one. No price there means the organizer has not published any that we have read.
- Open every package. The Sponsorship section lists each level with its price, in the currency it was published. You are done when you have the level you want.
- Check it against the benchmark. Compare that price with the median for its level on sponsorship prices, then with events your size on cost by conference size.
A worked example
A cloud security vendor is weighing KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2026. Its page shows 14 published packages, from $5,000 to $25,000. The cheapest is about 2.5 times the $2,000 median cheapest package, so this is a pricier show to enter than most. The next question is who already pays that, which the same page answers with its sponsor list.
The limits
- These are list prices. What a company negotiated stays private.
- A price can belong to an earlier edition. The page says which year it read.
- A show that publishes nothing has no price here. ConferenceDB does not estimate one.
Where the prices come from
Prices are the packages organizers publish on their sponsor pages and prospectuses. The medians take each conference's latest priced edition, in US dollars, without tickets, per-person rates or prices under $250. The full rules are on sponsorship prices.

Questions
Why does a conference show no price?
Many organizers send their prospectus only on request, and ConferenceDB carries what they publish. Ask the organizer for it, and use the benchmark for events like that one in the meantime. What a prospectus holds
Are these the prices companies actually paid?
No. They are the list prices organizers publish. A company may have negotiated a discount or a custom package, and ConferenceDB does not estimate those.
Do I need an account to see the prices?
No. Every published price reads free with no account.
Why is a price in euros or pounds?
Each price shows in the currency the organizer published. The medians on the benchmark page count US-dollar packages only.
