Networking at ORAM Next Gen Festival

PARTNERSHIP

OUR PARTNERS ACTIVELY
SHAPE THIS PLATFORM.

The organisations behind this festival aren't here for the logo placement. They're here because they believe the Amsterdam Metropolitan Area moves faster when its next generation is in the room, and they're willing to take responsibility for making that happen.

WHY PARTNER WITH US

THIS ISN'T A LOGO PLACEMENT.

Most events will sell you visibility. A banner. A mention in the program. A speaking slot shaped around your messaging. That's not what this is.

ORAM Next Gen Festival works because the partners who show up are genuinely embedded in it, not as sponsors, but as co-creators. They bring challenges. They contribute knowledge. They send their own people. And they stay involved after the day ends.

Partners bring real challenges into the Pressure Cooker Sessions. Groups of young professionals work on them during the day. Every partner, and every attendee, receives the results — and ORAM actively works to build the coalitions needed to move the most promising directions forward.

The Amsterdam Metropolitan Area is navigating one of the most complex periods in its recent economic history. The Draghi report, the Wennink Report, the Dutch AI Deltaplan, the MRA 2025–2028 agenda — these describe the decisions that will determine what the region looks like in ten years. That's the agenda this festival is working from.

We don't offer standard packages. Every partnership is tailored to the organisation. What we ask is simple: be here for the right reasons.

WHAT PARTNERSHIP MEANS

WHAT YOU GET.

Stage & content presence.
Not a slot to present your organisation. A seat in the conversation, as a shaper of the agenda. A keynote, a panel contribution, or a moderated session in the focus area most relevant to your work.
Direct access to the room.
400+ young professionals actively shaping the region's future. Structured networking moments and curated conversations — real access to the people your organisation needs to know.
Brand visibility that means something.
Presence across festival communications — digital, on-site, in the program — throughout the build-up and on the day. Association with the conversations defining the region's direction.
Tickets for your team.
Bring your own young professionals into the room. Invest in their development while deepening your organisation's presence in the ecosystem.
Challenge ownership.
Bring a real problem into the Pressure Cooker Sessions. Receive structured recommendations from a diverse group of young professionals, and benefit from ORAM's network to help move things forward.
Custom involvement.
We don't force things into fixed formats. If you have a specific goal, we'll design the involvement around that.
PARTNER OPPORTUNITIES

HOW WE WORK TOGETHER.

Every partnership starts with a conversation. Not a rate card. These are illustrative directions, not fixed packages. Every partnership is negotiated individually.

01
Festival Partner.
Full involvement across the festival. Co-creation of content, prominent visibility on stage and in communications, genuine presence throughout the build-up and on the day. For organisations that want to be embedded in the platform, not just associated with it.
02
Focus Area Partner.
Deep involvement in one of the four focus areas. Content contribution, speaker input and targeted visibility with the professionals most relevant to your sector.
03
Networking Partner.
Host or co-host the evening reception, the part of the festival where the content becomes relationships. Maximum presence in a relaxed, high-quality setting with 400+ professionals who are paying attention.
04
Community Partner.
Involvement that goes beyond the single day. Connection to the broader ORAM ecosystem — young professional networks, regional events and programs throughout the year. For organisations that think in terms of years, not events.
These are directions, not fixed packages. Every partnership is negotiated individually. Get in touch and we'll talk about what makes sense for your organisation.
