Sponsorship opportunities

🚢 Why sponsor Secrets of the FileMaker Seas?

This isn’t your average tech event. It’s a collective experience.

We don’t have booths. We don’t have scripted keynotes.

We have Ports where real solutions meet real people — and where your brand can become part of the route, not just the backdrop.

Whether you’re looking to spark conversations, offer something useful, or simply support the mission — there’s a place for you aboard.

💡 What we’re looking for

We’re not after flashy logos or generic sponsorships.
We’re looking for partners who want to bring real value to the community.

✅ Solutions that solve actual problems
✅ Tools, workflows or add-ons people can try on the spot
✅ Practical resources: books, licenses, dashboards, guides
✅ Thoughtful gestures: games, gifts, surprises
✅ Sponsors who see this as an opportunity to connect, not just advertise

If your brand stands for clarity, creativity, or community — we’re already aligned.

YES!

We call our sessions Ports — because they’re not just presentations, they’re places of exploration.

In this event, there are no stages.
Instead, we explore themes through interactive “Ports” — small-group sessions dedicated to a specific topic, challenge, or opportunity.

Each Port is a destination on the map — and every stop needs practical tools, insights, and anchors.

That’s where you come in.

As a sponsor, you can choose to appear in the Port that matches your offering — with a focused, relevant 2-hour presence called the Merchant’s Pier.

No need to talk about your product.
Just show how it works, how it helps, and how it fits the journey.

You’re not on stage.
You’re in the harbor. Ready to trade, share, and connect.

Not just exposure — but participation, connection, and presence.
As a sponsor, you’ll be:

• Visible where it matters – in the flow of real conversations
• In touch with the community – not separated by a booth
• Associated with creativity, innovation, and authenticity
• Credited in all key materials (website, slides, signage, and shoutouts)
• Part of something people will remember

Your support doesn’t sit in a corner. It sails with us.

🎁 As a thank-you, sponsors will receive:

• A special badge marking them as part of the expedition’s core crew
• A sponsor-exclusive gift, crafted to match the theme of the journey
• Recognition during the opening plenary as one of the voices that shaped the route
• A dedicated page with your photos and description on the official website
• A special “sponsor” price for your guests and for your customers

🍽️ Sponsor Welcome Dinner

As a sponsor, you’re officially part of the expedition’s core crew.
To celebrate that, we’ll invite you to an exclusive welcome dinner the evening before the event begins.

Good food, great company, and the calm before the storm.

A chance to meet the speakers, get to know the captains, and enjoy Naples together — before we set sail.
