Frequently asked questions
Do I need to be a DRC member to sponsor an event or program?
Yes, sponsoring a DRC event or program is a benefit of DRC membership. Not a member? Send us an email to explore membership levels.
How do I know if my company is a DRC member?
Does submitting my favorites confirm my sponsorships?
No, submitting your favorites does not confirm your sponsorships nor does it put them on hold. After you submit your favorites, the DRC team will contact you to confirm your selections and guide you through the next steps. Sponsorships are confirmed when an agreement is signed, at which time the inventory will be removed from this website.
When do I need to confirm my sponsorship?
We encourage you to confirm your 2026 sponsorships early to secure the best opportunities that align with your goals. That said, our website is continuously updated with available sponsorships throughout the year, so you can explore and commit when the timing is right for your company.
