Sponsor Midwest Pixel Fest

Midwest Pixel Fest is looking for brands, hotels, and local organizations that want to help launch a regional convention in Emporia, Kansas on October 16–17, 2027. Official packages and pricing are not published yet.

Why sponsor

Sponsorship is about showing up where the Midwest already gathers for games, costumes, and collectibles — and helping a new regional weekend get on its feet in Emporia.

The audience we are building toward includes gamers, cosplayers, collectors, families, students, creators, and local-to-regional businesses. We will not invent attendance numbers to sell a deck.

Who we want to work with

Game shops, collectible brands, hospitality, civic partners, campuses, media, and companies that already talk to this crowd. Custom partnerships are on the table once the weekend shape is locked.

Sponsorship opportunities

These are categories, not priced tiers. Dollar amounts, inclusions, and a downloadable deck will be posted when they are real.

  • Presenting Partner

    Lead visibility across the inaugural weekend.

  • Gaming Area Partner

    Association with free play, retro, or competitive space.

  • Cosplay Partner

    Support for contest, meetup, or photo programming.

  • Tournament Partner

    Brackets and side events once formats are locked.

  • Stage / Panel Partner

    Stages, screens, and featured conversations.

  • Community Partner

    Local and regional brands that want a floor presence.

  • Attendee experience

    Wayfinding, comfort, and on-site moments that make the weekend easier to attend.

  • Hotel / Travel Partner

    Room blocks and visitor support after the venue is public.

  • Local Business Partner

    Emporia and surrounding businesses that want in on the weekend.

Custom partnerships

If a category above is close but not right, say so when inquiry opens. Activations will be built around the actual floor, not a generic sponsor grid copied from another show.

Request sponsorship information

Use the sponsor inquiry form to introduce your organization. Submitting it does not create a sponsorship agreement. A prospectus will be posted here when it exists.
