How much does it cost for employers to take part?

For the 2026 fairs, we have three packages available to employers: stand only, corporate sponsorship, and premium sponsorship.

'Stand only' options

If you choose our stand only package, this is free of charge and allows you to request a stand at one or more of the fairs (without a sponsorship package).

This free 'stand only' option is available at all fair locations (Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Hong Kong).

'Sponsorship' options

Sponsorship packages are available at all fair locations (Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Hong Kong).

For each event, we have two different sponsorship packages available: corporate and premium. Availability of each package is based on strict limits for each venue, and these are available on a first-come, first-served basis. 

Corporate sponsorship gives you:

  • Employer stand at fair.
  • Logo in digital brochure.
  • Logo on all event posters and signage on the day.
  • Logo within the event ticketing system denoting your corporate partnership.

Corporate sponsorship costs £350 per fair.

 

Premium sponsorship includes all the benefits of the corporate sponsorship package, plus:

  • A marketing email (up to 400 words) to all booked attendees at partner universities.
  • A 50-minute virtual employer presentation to students across partner universities in July or September, coordinated by our team. 

Premium sponsorship costs £1,250 per fair, and there are a maximum of three premium sponsorships available at each fair location.
