Benefits of Sponsorship

Exposure and Brand Visibility

Black Fire Innovation reaches a large audience of industry professions, researchers, entrepreneurs, and students. Our sponsors gain significant exposure and visibility to this audience through recognition at events, inclusion in various promotional materials, being featured on the Black Fire Innovation website, and more.

Showcase and Testing Opportunities

We offer sponsors the chance to showcase their products, services, and technologies in our state-of-the-art facility. This includes our replica integrated resort environment, casino floor, hotel rooms, and sportsbook – all which provide an ideal setting for sponsors to demonstrate and test their innovations.

Sponsors also benefit from receiving valuable feedback from industry professionals and researchers to refine their offerings, gain real-world insights, and engage with our students who are the workforce of tomorrow.

Thought Leadership and Research Collaboration

Sponsors can contribute to the advancement of knowledge and innovation by engaging in collaborative research projects with UNLV researchers and students. This allows sponsors to utilize the expertise of academic professionals and tap into the unique resources and facilities at UNLV. By participating in joint research initiatives, sponsors can strengthen their position as thought leaders in their respective industries.
