Become a Sponsor of FutureScape 2027

The South Coast’s Biggest, Boldest AI & Tech Event Is Back - And Sponsorship Is Now Open! 

FutureScape logo

Solent FutureScape 2026 was an absolute standout moment for the region – over 500 delegates packed into the King’s Conference Centre for a day full of innovation, brilliant conversations, hands‑on demos, and giant‑robot chaos (thanks Titan!).

We’re already shaping FutureScape 2027 – and if you’re thinking of getting involved, now’s a fantastic time to join us.

 

Solent FutureScape - Firechat with audience

What they said

“Was a great day… I had so many conversations with people who came to the demo saying they need this in their business. I’ve had 2 calls already and both are excited move ahead with installing it in their business. People who came for chat also came up with a load of other issues they had that could be addressed with AI or automation. So lots of ideas on how I can put solutions together to help with those problems, too.”

Mark Persaud,
Founder, Growwth™

“I just wanted to congratulate you all on such an amazing event yesterday. I learnt so much and made so many good connections. You must all be exhausted after the amount of talking and walking you did! I haven’t enjoyed a conference so much in a long time and the variety of speakers and stalls made the event! Well done!”

Jo Brooke, Director of Community Education, Business Development and Partnerships, Itchen Sixth Form College

Why organisations should get involved with FutureScape 2027

Solent FutureScape 2026 proved the strength and appetite of the region’s digital and tech community.

The event brought together businesses, educators, innovators, and decision makers for a focused day of learning, discussion, and practical insight.

Attendance was high, engagement was strong, and feedback showed the event delivered real value to those who took part.

Sponsoring FutureScape 2027 places your organisation directly within that environment – not as an observer, but as part of the conversation, connecting with SMEs, founders, investors and public sector partners actively exploring new tools, partnerships and ideas.

What the data tells us:

  • 94% of attendees rated the event Excellent or Very Good
  • 92% said they plan to return in 2027
  • 89% felt more confident using AI tools after attending

Sponsors benefited from meaningful interactions, increased visibility with a relevant audience, and opportunities that came from face to face conversations rather than passive exposure.

For organisations looking to position themselves within the Solent’s digital growth, FutureScape 2027 is a practical, well evidenced opportunity to do so.

And here’s what one of our 2026 sponsors said:

 

“You should all be super proud of yourselves for putting together such an amazing event in such a short time and can’t wait to hear what you have planned next!  

Please pass on our thanks and congrats to the whole SGP team”.
