Sponsored Session Guidelines

MPTS offers you a unique opportunity to present your ideas to the industry’s key decision makers and influencers from all areas of the media, broadcast and production industries.

In order for you to make the most of your time in the limelight, here are some key do’s and don’ts that are important for you to take note of before you start planning your session.

If you need further guidance, please feel free to get in touch with cherry.portbury@globaldata.com.

Please ensure we receive your session title and synopsis by 7th March, in time for the programme going live. You can still make changes to your session after this date but having some content from you enables us to include your session and logo on the programme, which allows for maximum exposure as we promote it.

Don't...

  • Give a sales pitch. You must talk about a project your Company has been involved with.
  • Deliver an all-male panel – MPTS strives to deliver gender equality across the show and in particular female representation on panels; there are many amazing female colleagues out there who would be delighted to be asked to contribute! For any more information have a look at www.risewib.com
  • Rely heavily on powerpoint – it’s not engaging, and you’ll lose your audience.
  • Turn up at the last minute – be punctual!

Keep to time

Make it visual

Make it visual

Include interesting video/audio footage or another “hook” to encourage audience engagement.
Call to action

Call to action

Make your session memorable, Tweetable and think about giving your audience a “call to action” so they reach out to you after the session. Don't forget to include contact details at the end so they know how to find you.
Practise & enjoy!

Practise to make sure you’re comfortable with the content and timing and be mindful of the audience and language choices you make.

  • The atmosphere at MPTS has been amazing this year. MPTS is definitely one of the industry’s most diverse shows, if not the most diverse, both in terms of attendees and panelists. A huge amount of work goes into making sure that there is equal representation across an extensive conference programme.

  • It has been a wonderful two days at MPTS. It was well attended with technology everywhere. The show was full of people from the industry, new to the industry, collaborating, networking and generally having a good time.

  • I think this year 2024 is probably the most innovative, cutting-edge, head-of-the-curve MPTS that I’ve exhibited at so far. I think even compared to last year, attendees really know what they’re looking for when it comes to cloud, AI, virtual production, all of the buzz words, all of the emerging technologies, everyone’s really embraced it.

  • It's just really nice to come into a big building where all your people are at and everyone is doing the same thing as you and sharing ideas, technologies and solutions. Here it feels like you're among your community.
