Event Sponsorship
Sponsorship funding for local screen-sector events across Edmonton and Northern Alberta.
Overview
Events play a vital role in our creative communities by fostering connection, culture, and economic growth. They bring people together, creating opportunities for social interaction, shared experiences, and the exchange of ideas. Events could include meet-ups, networking events, festivals, workshops, webinars, or panels.
Edmonton Screen provides event sponsorships to help cover event costs, allowing organizers to invest in high-quality production and experiences. This sponsorship aims to not only provide financial support, but also help enhance the event’s visibility and create mutually beneficial partnerships.
