Event Sponsor and Vendor Booth Spaces

When reviewing the event prospects for 2024 please keep in mind the following.

  • Platinum Sponsors get premium booth location and additional perks over Gold Sponsor or being a vendor booth space.
  • Gold Sponsors will be placed on concrete in main event space. Not every vendor space can be placed closest to the main tent, if this is important to you please consider the Platinum Sponsorship. Although there really is not a bad place to be at our event, Slingshot owners and future owners will be everywhere at the event spaces during the 4 Day Sling Experience in Houston, TX! 
  • Gold Sponsor gives you great exposure at a value level! See details on prospectus and include up to a 40×20 booth. You can add more booth space as well for a 25% Discount on the additional space.
  • In order to sponsor competitions or other a-la-cart sponsorship opportunities you also must have a booth space.
