Sponsor the room where epic business relationships are built.
Put your business in front of a relationship-driven community of professionals in the construction industry: Architects, Engineers, General Contractors, Subcontractors, Trade Partners, Commercial Real Estate and Finance. This isn't passive logo placement — it's presence, participation, and visibility in a room built on trust.
Sponsorship can mean many things. Sponsor a monthly DES Group Networking Event, or curate your own DES-E (Exclusive) event where we bring the “30 pieces of flair” and you bring your invite-only clients.
Talk SponsorshipBe part of the room, not just on a flyer.
DES sponsors support the monthly experience that keeps the community active, welcoming, and memorable. Sponsorship helps cover event fee, event hospitality, and the signature DES wooden bowl — handcrafted by founder Michael Root through his woodworking studio, Somewhere Woodworking.
As a sponsor, your business becomes part of the DES experience — not just a name on a flyer.
Visibility that actually converts.
Event promotion recognition
Featured in the run-up to each event — emails, social, materials.
Sponsor spotlight at the event
A welcomed moment to introduce yourself and your business to the room.
Logo & name placement
On DES event materials where applicable — clean, on-brand, never cluttered.
Social media mention
Pre- and post-event posts on the DES channels.
Contribute to the experience
The bowl, a content moment — sponsor in a way that feels real. Bring things to give away: your company swag, door prizes, gift cards, golf clubs, trips to Roatan, Honduras.
Aligned association
Be associated with a growing, respected, relationship-first business community.
One deeply cherished tradition elevates every DES event.
Every event closes with a business-card drawing for the signature handcrafted wooden bowl — turned by founder Michael Root through Somewhere Woodworking, and awarded to one lucky guest. It's the moment the room remembers.
Can't wait to get your own bowl? Reach out to Michael.
