A look ahead

2026 is shaping up to be a defining year for sponsorship. 

Looking ahead to 2026, we’re expanding the conversation beyond Pittsburgh. After the ROI Forum in April, we’ll be heading to Vancouver in June 2026 and London later in 2026, with more details to come.  

April - Pittsburgh: The ROI Forum, where we’ll challenge what ROI really means in 2026 and how sponsorships earn their place in tougher boardroom conversations. 

June - Vancouver: Activation Lab, where brands come together to test, learn, and build smarter sponsorship activations in a dynamic, west coast market.  

 Fall - London: SPX Purpose League, where impact, purpose, and performance collide, and where the next chapter of sponsorship thinking takes shape. 

 We’d love to see you at all three. But more importantly, we want this to help you plan your year. 

Know how your professional development funds work? Already planning to be in Vancouver in June 2026?  
Thinking ahead about where you want to sharpen your thinking this year? 

These moments are designed to meet you where you already are, and we’d hate for you to miss one that fits naturally into your plans.
