Not ready to own the whole ecosystem? Choose VBC (Knowledge), VBA (Recognition) or VBE (Business).
| Platform | Focus | Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| VBC | Policy • Leadership • Thought Leadership • Sector Knowledge | Sector White Papers |
| VBA | Recognition • Excellence • Leadership • Reputation | Sector Leadership Reports |
| VBE | Business • Trade • Buyers • Sellers • Market Opportunities | Sector Market Reports |
Instead of an ecosystem-wide commitment, a sponsor chooses one of the three specialised physical platforms. The VBC file frames this as: "Platform Sponsorship (choose VBC, VBA, or VBE individually)" — "Perfect for growing/mid-sized/regional/category leaders."
VBE specifically defines its own individual-platform architecture: "Individual VBE Full Day; Individual VBE Fire Chat/Sector; Hall/Day Sponsorship; Superstar Sponsor; Star Sponsor." Full VBE Full-Day pricing is reproduced on the Sponsorship Pricing Ladder page.
Growing, mid-sized, regional or category-leading organisations that want deep ownership of one platform's audience and outcome, rather than an ecosystem-wide footprint.
Individual Platform sponsors draw most heavily on the benefit categories aligned to their chosen platform — a VBC sponsor emphasises Thought Leadership and Knowledge; a VBA sponsor emphasises Brand and Long-Term recognition value; a VBE sponsor emphasises Business.
Worked example (Bengaluru, AI & Cyber Security): VBC asks "What policies and strategic priorities will accelerate India's AI and cyber-security capabilities?"; VBA asks "Which companies and leaders are demonstrating leadership in AI & Cyber Security?"; VBE asks "Where are the buyers, sellers, markets and business opportunities in AI & Cyber Security right now?" A sponsor choosing one platform is choosing which of these three questions their brand wants to own.
No verified platform-specific sponsor evidence is available in source yet — "Evidence Coming Soon" applies. Visibility and reach claims remain programme capabilities/ambitions, not guarantees: "Avoid guarantees of impressions, search ranking, leads, revenue, government adoption, media publication or commercial ROI."
