DEYA sponsorship & ticket sales
At the Gustavson School of Business, we’re thrilled to offer meaningful and high-impact sponsorship opportunities that celebrate your support while connecting you with a vibrant community of entrepreneurs, business leaders and changemakers. Sponsoring DEYA isn’t just about visibility—it’s about building relationships, amplifying your brand, and aligning with a legacy of innovation and excellence.
To ensure sponsors receive the full breadth of recognition, engagement, and storytelling opportunities associated with their sponsorship tier, we encourage partners to confirm their support by March 31, 2026. This deadline ensures that we are able to thoughtfully integrate your organization's name and logo, and deliver maximum value leading up to and throughout the celebration.
