UNDERWRITER
LEVEL 1

This plan focuses on high-profile keynote speaking sessions and content sharing. It is a participation-rich plan with GCDCS's largest all-Canada, US and Global delegate audience reach and interactive engagement.

This Plan is designed for global-scale brands with broad, horizontal, deep, trusted, high-profile subject matter expertise and thought leadership.

Ideally the Underwriter will have fully developed, fully articulated Digital Resiliency and Sustainability-enhancing programs and full suites of products and systems offerings to address customer challenges.

The Premier Plan covers the full period, September 1st through Symposium Week in December and well-beyond with the publication of the Path Forward e-book compilation of all content papers and Design Charrette findings in February.

Premier Underwriters participate to the fullest extent in subject-matter-expert content, as well as cross-media and engagement offerings throughout the course of the GCDC Symposium series cycle - September '22 to February '23 in addition to the 5 days of opportunities of Symposium Week.

This plan is limited to 3 underwriters.

The GCDCS22 Platinum Awards Ceremony and Holidays Reception, is the capstone event of the SYMPOSIUM WEEK Agenda.

This senior-most Underwriter Plan retains most of the same benefits as Premier Keynote Underwriters, however, its Keynote Presentation takes a modified format vs that of the Premier Keynote Underwriters.

This Keynote Presentation, given during the GCDCS PLATINUM AWARDS PRESENTATION, serves as a senior-level introduction to the GCDCS22 Resilient + Sustainable Digital Infrastructure 4.0 Awards. Following brief remarks, the Platinum Keynote Executive then hosts the Awards Presentation Ceremonies.

This takes place in the McMaster University Innovation Park (MIP) Atrium, and precedes the early-evening Holidays Reception with virtual wine-tasting + silent auction. The Platinum Awards presentation ceremonies will be live-streamed for the all-Canada and Global delegate audience plus the onsite at MIP audience (limited to 300 by invitation) in attendance.

Beyond being the capstone of the Keynote Day, it is likely that the Awards Presentations will gain significant media exposure and on-demand, encore views within the Event portal and on the GCDCS YouTube Channel..

This plan is exclusive to 1 underwriter.
