Sponsorship Opportunities
The Disruptive Franchise Awards is the only event in the industry that celebrates positive disruption and innovation!
The 2025 awards had a record number of entries, was a sold out event and had a reach of over 36,000 on Instagram alone. The whole industry was talking about the event the following day and it was such an incredible day that 2 of our sponsors came straight back for 2026!
Our sponsors are the heart of the event and we LOVE working with them on a level that anchors them into our community. We have a number of opportunities for you to get involved for the 2026 Disruptive Awards which are happening on Sat 13th June in Manchester.
