Sponsorship opportunities

At the Greater Des Moines Partnership, sponsorship opportunities are available for both our Signature Events, community events and installations in Greater Des Moines, including Downtown Des Moines.  

Thanks to the community businesses and organizations that sponsor Partnership events, we’re able to minimize costs to attendees and host relevant and timely speakers and top entertainment. In return, sponsors gain valuable access to The Partnership’s extensive network as well as become part of the continued story of a thriving region.  

Signature Events

The Partnership’s Signature Events are among the region’s most prominent gatherings, convening the leading voices on issues of importance to DSM’s regional economy. These large-scale events attract national speakers at the top of their industries and attendees represent the business and civic leadership community in the region. 

Premier Event and Program Opportunities

The Partnership offers programs and events that improve access and economic growth for local businesses, connect interns with regional leaders, introduce community members to Iowa Legislators and more. These opportunities build talent and foster connections across the region.

Community Events

Community events produced by The Partnership and powered by Downtown DSM, Inc. and the Downtown Events Group are where the community comes together to celebrate as one region, infusing Greater Des Moines with vibrancy. These large-scale events with a combined attendance of 1.2 million people elevate arts, culture and heritage within the community and stimulate the local small business economy and cultivate community building.
