Event Partnerships
Co-Hosted & Sponsored Events
Bring the audience and content. We bring the space, production, and Folsom experience.
Let’s Talk About Your EventThe Model
Your Event, Our Stage
You’re not renting a venue — you’re co-producing an event. You bring the audience, the brand, and the content. Granite City brings the space, the tech, the production infrastructure, and the Folsom experience. The risk drops to near zero because we absorb the hard costs in exchange for a revenue share.

We Can Sell Sponsorships for You
Not every company has the bandwidth or network to sell event sponsorships. We do. Granite City has deep ties to the local business and tech community in the Sacramento and Folsom region. We can source and close sponsorship deals on your behalf for a percentage of funds raised — so you can focus on your content and attendees while we fill your sponsor deck.
