A LANDMARK VENUE
WITH A DIFFERENT
KIND OF PULL
COSI gives Catalyst a setting that feels distinct from a hotel ballroom or standard reception space. 320,000 square feet of architecture, scale, riverfront location, immersive lighting, and an outdoor courtyard create a backdrop built for high-value experiences — with on-site parking included.

CREATES CONNECTION
The best business conversations don't happen in scheduled sessions. They happen when the environment is relaxed, active, and memorable.

RIVERSIDE
REACTION
Weather permitting, Catalyst extends into the back courtyard overlooking the river and downtown Columbus. Sponsor tents, outdoor bar, DJ and dance area, VIP parking access, and a riverside view built for content, photos, and visibility.
Experience Zones
ONE EVENT.
MULTIPLE MOMENTS.
Activation Map
Designed as a sequence, not a room list.
Guests move from arrival to connection, from sponsor visibility to content moments, then out toward the river and the dance floor. Each zone has a clear role in the night.
Indoor Networking Zone
A quieter collision space for sponsors, exhibitors, speakers, and operators.
Sponsor Lounge
High-value hosting space with longer dwell time and direct relationship building.
Media Wall
Step-and-repeat visibility built for photos, press, partner content, and socials.
Outdoor Bar
A natural gathering point that keeps traffic moving between inside and outside.
DJ + Dance Area
The energy anchor: music, lighting, crowd movement, and peak-night atmosphere.
Riverside Sponsor Tent Row
Outdoor brand presence with sightlines, sampling potential, and riverside context.
Photo + Content Moments
Designed moments that turn attendee movement into shareable event proof.
Partnership
A BOOTH CREATES VISIBILITY.
A PARTY CREATES MEMORY.
Sponsors are not simply placed on a flyer; they are integrated into the attendee experience—seen, remembered, photographed, shared, and discussed long after day one of the summit concludes. This opportunity delivers exposure to 800+ professionals and generates more than 100,000 marketing impressions.
