The Learning Futures & Tech Media Meeting hosted by the Learning Counsel is both a mobile video studio and regional professional learning event designed to promote innovation and edtech awareness in the field of education. By combining timely research and knowledge of trends, the Learning Counsel facilitates a high-level experience in a single-day workshop format for K12 administrators and teachers that is not far afield for them to attend. Organized around high-level local speakers and collaborative learning structures, the Media Meeting maintains a professional profile in the education field and are seen as visionary by education leaders nationwide. Each Media Meeting is a small-venue, one-day meeting-style event, not a conference. Think of the power of genuine working meetings which just happen to also have national media coverage of featured speakers, and you have the special feel of the Media Meeting
Produced by Learning Counsel News Media & Research, the Media Meeting also puts education companies into the recurring news coming off each location to a mass audience.

Real Sales Return

Sponsor Engagement Levels
Workshop Table Host
As host, you will facilitate a collaborative learning discussion at one of the tables in the room while other discussions proceed at other tables. You will have direct interaction with attending educators in 3 rotations of 25 minutes each time. Each rotation may have 1-5 administrators or more at a time. Each round will typically be members of one district or one school, but not always. Your role will be to spend a few minutes on company and product introduction before leading the group into a topical discussion like those listed above each rotation. Every city will have 3 tables of discussions. Some companies may also request a portion of a separate perimeter table, if available, to display tech or take people over at breaks to do demos.
Sponsorship for each city: $4,000, up to 2 representatives attending.
Guest Speaker
Present to educators as a guest speaker to show not only what your solution is, but more importantly, how it can help schools and districts achieve the vision for education presented in the Learning Futures & Tech Media Meeting.
15-Minute (1 available per city) – Note, when all workshop tables are sold, as speaker you will not be seated during the morning with guests and some guests may not stay for the luncheon.

We have the relationships with top administrators through twelve years of touring with live meetings. Let us talk your company and product up to get interest started and follow through with an introduction between your rep and prospects after each event.
How it works:
1. Give us a 2-minute video or single powerpoint slide for us to use to introduce your company’s product or services.
2. During the video and introductory showcase, we provide a feedback questionnaire, asking participants on behalf of the sponsor:
• Sponsor’s Logo and 50-word description.
• Rate interest 1-10 with 10 being highest interest.
• Write any questions.
• Write any recommendations on how to proceed if you were this sponsor.
3. Learning Counsel provides the feedback from the questionnaire and what happened in conversations with participating administrators and educators.
4. Learning Counsel sends a thank-you email to all participants with sponsor info and link-back stated again.
5. Learning Counsel sends a personal email to interested participants that tags the sponsor’s representative in a warm introduction after the event.
Typical interested lead passes will be 3-10 per event. Single events sponsorships are $1,600.
• $21,600 for all 18 events or $1,200 per event
• $18,900 for 14 events or $1350 per event
• $14,50 for 10 events or $1450 per event
• $9,300 for 6 events or $1550 per event
“The Learning Counsel has helped produced invaluable relationships for Tynker that we have been able to leverage into new or ongoing business. The meetings are more like co-working with educators with a chance to bring up Tynker’s product alongside research-based topics with data points that Learning Counsel prepares with a handout for each mini-workshop. It’s very productive to meet all the administrators there through several rotations and some of them speaking and during breaks and lunch. Sometimes Tynker chose to be one of the presenters in what we sponsored, or at lunch they show a 2-minute Tynker video as people are eating and everyone watches. The educators get a lot out of the day for themselves, it’s not just about the companies. Because we are discussing important things they care about, afterward we are like part of the family. That makes it a thousand times easier later. The positive revenue impact on our company far outweighed the investment we made into these events.”
– Venkat, Executive at Tynker
Spend 25% less on your cost-of-sales and actually reach decision makers!
The Learning Futures & Tech Media Meeting averages five solid sales connections/pitches per event with speaking or workshop sponsors. This equates to a value of $792 each, or $3,960 in hard costof-sales without the event to get those live connections.
• Typically, at least one other influencer from those same five single districts or schools also meet the rep, upping the value saved to an estimated $7,920 per event for time saved making connections with the contributing decision makers.
• Events will typically have far more than those five schools or districts your rep will interact with, potentially teeing up interest down the road from follow-through.
• Participation in any one event also reduces time-to-reach in follow-up, another hidden sales cost of manual selling without the effect of the event.
= Single City Workshop Host or 15-Minute Speaker is $4,000 to sponsor versus a $7,920 cost-of-sales, about 50% in savings! Discounted multi-city packages give even larger savings.
Cost of any one event at any level of sponsorship is less than the cost to do traditional manual field selling for even one sales connection. The actual value of subsequent sales made may be more significant because of the top-level titles than from other events reaching primarily teachers or low-level titles.
