Sponsor Exhibits
There are plenty of opportunities for organisations and individuals to sponsor part of the convention. This page sets out current sponsors for parts of the Exhibits Hall and further opportunities to help us make it a great place to spend some time during Loncon 3.
Exhibits Sponsors
Anglia Ruskin University is delighted to sponsor the Science Poster sessions at the World Science Fiction Convention.
Banners
We want to hang spaceship banners in the hall: each one costs around £800. If your company would like to have the opportunity to see its logo displayed to more than five thousand people (and keep a glorious banner of our Guest of Honour Chris Foss’s work ), contact exhibits@ukin2014.org
Exhibits Catalogue
In addition to other opportunities for sponsorship and advertising in other Loncon 3 publications, there will be an Art and Exhibits Catalogue. Contact artshow@ukin2014.org if you’re interested in advertising in the catalogue or sponsoring its production.
Sponsor a Bench
We want to have seating in the Exhibits Hall so people can pause while they’re perusing. To celebrate our Guest of Honour Robin Hobb’s classic novel Wizard of the Pigeons (as by Megan Lindholm) we’ve decided to use street benches. And you can sponsor one (or more).
In return for £250/$350 we’ll affix a plaque with the words of your choice – within reason! You can celebrate your business, the award you run or dedicate it to a member of the SF community who’ll be missed at Loncon 3.
Current sponsors include:
- Locus : In memory of Charles Brown, founder of Locus
- The Science Fiction Foundation : In memory of George Hay, founder of the SFF
- Neil Gaiman : In memory of John Brunner
- Edward James: In memory of Arthur C Clarke, founder of the Arthur C Clarke Award

All the benches sponsored will be listed in the convention souvenir book, and the benches will be donated to worthy causes after the convention. The plaques can be returned to the sponsor, or a home found for them in the Science Fiction Foundation at the University of Liverpool.
