On behalf of Driven Inc we thank you for your ongoing partnership! We are excited to partner with you to provide the best possible buying environment for our audience of success-minded entrepreneurs. Our audience is filled with successful solopreneurs and entrepreneurs looking to actively grow their companies and are willing to spend the money on the goods and services that will help them do so.
This mini site is designated just for you – it’s a one stop location where you can find details on the event, deadlines, quick facts on the show and tools and resources to guide you in your final planning. Simply click a tab below and it will open to the section of information for that topic.

To expedite check-in, please register any booth personnel or attendees from your company by May 4th, 2020. Note, we expect to sell out – do not delay in registering your team.

All Access Upgrade: As a sponsor you are eligible to upgrade to the All Access level at Driven The Event. Please remember that as a sponsor you are already guaranteed “Reserved” seating near the back of the general session for easy entrance and exit to get to The Exhibit Hall. With the All Access Upgrade you get: Two lunch and learn passes, VIP registration, priority seating with a table.
Registering Guests Using Gifted Sponsor Tickets:
You have complimentary tickets as part of your sponsor agreement, depending on your package level. You should have received an email with a customized registration link so you can kick-start registering your guests using your gifted tickets!
All registrants using a sponsor’s gifted ticket must be registered in advance. Sponsors who received additional complimentary tickets to gift clients as part of their sponsor package may not use those gifted tickets to register their own booth representatives and team members.
Please note: Driven clients and past event attendees are all gifted complimentary tickets to Driven: The Event, so your complimentary tickets must be used for individuals that are not current complimentary ticket holders.
Remember:
Fulfilling these guest tickets can help you reduce the cost of your sponsor package. All guest registrations are also due no later than May 1st, 2020.
If you’re a returning sponsor we are delighted to have you back! However, your links from previous years no longer work. Please remove them from any websites, e-zines, newsletters or past marketing materials.
