For Organizations Investing in Destination Alignment


Some sponsorships buy attention. This one supports the work.


Hosts & Home Teams™ is supported by a small group of sponsors who believe the future of the visitor economy depends on alignment, trust, and systems that function in the real world.


All sponsors participate at the same level with a flat sponsorship fee of $3,500. There are no tiers, no upgraded access, and no preferred positioning. This structure protects the integrity of the lab and ensures the work stays focused on outcomes rather than influence.


Sponsors are present, but not promotional. Your support makes the lab possible while the conversation remains centered on hosts, home teams, and the systems that connect them.

The Alignment Framework

Sponsors support a shared framework used throughout the lab to examine how destination systems function and where alignment strengthens or breaks down.

How Sponsorship Funds Are Used

Sponsorship directly supports the operation of the lab, including space design, facilitation, live documentation, accessibility, and participant experience. Funds are used to create a setting where meaningful, cross-sector work can happen without commercial pressure.

The return is not leads or impressions. It is credibility. Association with a serious, values-driven effort to reduce friction, rebuild trust, and modernize how destinations work.

If your organization believes collaboration is a responsibility rather than a marketing tactic, this is where support actually matters.

This Is Principled Sponsorship.

Your support does not buy stage time, panels, or positioning.

It protects the integrity of a working environment designed for honest dialogue and long-term alignment across the visitor economy.

Sponsors sit in the room alongside hosts, destination leaders, and contributors with the same access and expectations. No tiers. No upgraded influence. Just shared responsibility for the health of the system.

If your organization believes alignment is worth investing in, we would welcome your partnership.
