Why sponsor Network X
Three reasons partners invest in Network X
- A high-value, hard-to-reach audience. Network X is attended by 5,500+ network infrastructure professionals, including 1,500+ attendees from Telcos. More than half are decision-makers — from engineers and technical leads through to Heads of, VPs, Directors, SVPs and CxOs. These are the people who specify, approve, and buy.
- A campaign that runs before, during and after the show. Sponsorship doesn’t start when the doors open. Build a package around your objectives — pre-event teasers to warm up your audience, prime positioning onsite, and post-show follow-up to convert the interest you create. Our team helps you join it up across research, content, digital media and the event itself.
- Targeted reach beyond the show floor. With 150,000+ marketable Telco contacts across Informa’s service provider brands — and the segmentation expertise to use them — we help you reach the specific accounts and decision-makers you’re trying to win, not just the people who happen to walk past your stand.
Keep working your audience all year
The event is the moment. The 12 months around it are the opportunity. Our digital marketing solutions help your thought leadership, demos and product stories cut through — and keep generating pipeline long after Vienna.
The five ways partners work with us:
- Build your brand. Launch a product, share major news, or reinforce your position. Increase awareness, sharpen your identity, and put your innovation in front of the right market.
- Lead with thought leadership. Become a credible, authoritative voice. We help you grow readership and position your perspective with the audiences that matter — using our market expertise to get you heard.
- Run account-based marketing. Go after the specific accounts on your target list with a blended, tailored approach — backed by insight into what those buyers care about.
- Generate qualified leads. Build a pipeline that converts. Reach a senior, relevant audience and prioritise lead quality over volume — straight to the decision-makers and buyers you want.
- Grow existing accounts. Protect and expand the relationships you already have. Keep your brand in front of mind, showcase what’s new, and open the next growth opportunity.

What Our Attendees Have to Say
Charles Cheevers – CTO, Vantiva
"Network X is a honeypot of bringing in our smallest customers to our largest customers... it's a melting pot of the world... these events like Network X are the only place where you can see two competitors together chatting to them, where you can see a network guy talk to a CPE guy, and where you can see two vendors just chat about the coolness of the future of technology"
Tania Videira – Marketing Director, Celfocus
"We use NetworkX as a platform to connect with our partners, new ones, identify synergies, explore joint go-to-market opportunities around shared areas of interest. It's also a great opportunity to further engage with our existing clients with new ones in the end having conversations that often spark collaborative innovation, fresh perspectives, and also new approaches for business challenges."
Christian Gabetta – Heights Telecom, Managing Director
"Network X is a very pivotal and very important event for the industry. It allows people from the broadband world to get together once a year and it gives us the opportunity to share ideas, innovate, and find old friends."
