  Includes the opportunity to network with a global roster of opera administrators, thought leaders, and artists, and exhibition space in the World Opera Forum Sponsor Pavilion.
• Opera Conference Tier I — $5,000
  Includes the opportunity to present content in dedicated spotlight sessions, underwrite a general session, or put your name on the welcome center; and offers the highest level of visibility for your business.
• Opera Conference Tier II — $3,500
  Includes the alignment of your company with a specific network or affinity group, conference hospitality, or the exhibit hall; and offers repeated visibility and promotion throughout conference activities.
• Opera Conference Tier III — $2,000

Exhibit Tables

Set up a physical home base in the Opera Conference Exhibit Hall to network and showcase your business services, production rentals, new works, or other resources.

Exhibitors also receive a listing in the conference app. Space is extremely limited, and exhibit tables are only available to members of OPERA America, Opera Europa, or Ópera Latinoamérica alongside conference registration. Opera Conference Exhibitors can elect to host a featured activity at their table during the conference, promoted by push notification, for an additional fee of $400. View the Sponsorship Prospectus for full details.

Exhibition Catalog

Place a listing in the Exhibition Catalog, a special publication of production rentals, new works, industry opportunities, and business services distributed to all attendees of the World Opera Forum and Opera Conference.

• Full-Page Listing — $200 (6.5” W x 8” H, vertical)

Full-page advertisers also receive a listing in the forum/conference app. Registration for the forum or conference is not required to advertise.
