Sponsorship Guide
Sponsor Partner of H3 Ignite Summit.
Exhibitor locations and Partner engagement.
Where you are located
The Arena
Partner booths form the Exhibitor and Demonstration Zone horseshoe in the arena, wrapping the Demonstration & Presentation Area. Booths are 10' x 10', with 10' x 20' booths for Founding and Innovation Partners, and a 30' clear transition corridor.
Morning Session Tables
Option to add a designated table, placing your team in front of attendees during every break between morning sessions.
The Performance Showcase
Founding, Innovation and Performance Partners are given time on stage at the evening Performance Showcase for a live presentation, a branded video, or both.
Partner engagement hours
9:55 and 11:35
Morning session breaks
Two breaks each morning, 25 minutes and 20 minutes. Partner tables are active for both.
1:00 to 2:00
Lunch in the arena (dedicated partner time)
Box lunches are served from the Central Promenade, with seating set among the partner booths around your presentation area. A full hour of partner engagement.
2:00 to 4:00
Masterclasses
Masterclasses run concurrently in small groups, so while some attendees are in session, others are in the Exhibitor and Demonstration Zone. Traffic flows through the partner area all afternoon.
4:00 to 5:30
Dedicated partner time
No competing programming. This block belongs to partners: presentations, demonstrations and unhurried time with attendees.
Times shown apply to both conference days. The arena opens at lunch.
Partnership Levels
Help shape the future of athlete health and performance.
Every level includes a program and app listing, a website listing with your company name, brand logo and a direct link to your site, your logo on H3 sponsor banners in the arena, and one approved product, sample, offer or company card in the VIP bags.

Who H3 Ignite Is For
Where else will an equine sports medicine specialist, a human performance scientist and a canine sports medicine veterinarian take on the same questions, side by side? H3 Ignite is that event.
Physicians, veterinarians, physiotherapists, rehabilitation specialists, trainers, riders, handlers, grooms, owners, students, founders and the teams behind them. Everyone learns, everyone connects, and everyone leaves with a new mindset and the right people to call.
Horse
Keep the equine athlete sound for the long game.
Equine Veterinarians · Surgeons · Physiotherapists · Farriers · Trainers · Riders · Owners
Bring the whole team around the horse onto the same evidence, from conditioning and competition through rehabilitation and return to sport.
Hound
Give the canine athlete the rigor of elite sport.
Canine Sports Medicine Veterinarians · Rehabilitation Therapists · Trainers · Handlers · Owners
Performance dogs thrive when the veterinarians, therapists, trainers and handlers behind them treat training, recovery and care with the rigor of any elite sport.
Every session is built to translate. Whichever athlete you work with, the whole program applies to you.
Secure your place at H3 Ignite.
RegisterWhy H3 Ignite
One stage. Three species. Every athlete.
Medical research and innovation are moving faster than any single profession can follow, and many of the breakthroughs now reach across species. Sports medicine, regenerative therapies, pharmaceuticals, orthobiologics, peptides, precision nutrition and rehabilitation science are advancing in human, equine and canine medicine at the same time, often in parallel and rarely in the same conversation. H3 Ignite brings the leading specialists from all three together on one stage to share their knowledge, their protocols and their formulas for success, in front of the practitioners, competitors and teams who put them to work.
Nine reasons to be in the room.
Breaking the Silo
Human, equine and canine experts share every stage, so you see how your peers solve the same problems in different ways.
Evidence First
Our faculty separate what is proven from what is promising and from what is marketing.
The Integration Question
Learn which therapies work together and what proper use looks like in practice.
Timing the Athlete’s Cycle
Know where each tool belongs, from conditioning and competition through rehabilitation and return to sport.
The Modern Toolbox
A clear view of the current frontier: biomechanics, wearables, diagnostics, conditioning and longevity science.
Science in Motion
Live arena demonstrations and hands-on masterclasses, capped at 25 participants.
One Team, One Playbook
Real athletes and their real teams show what a shared playbook looks like.
Welfare and Fair Play
Pursue peak performance and athlete welfare together, within the rules of your sport.
The Right People
Olympic team veterinarians, researchers and sports medicine pioneers become the network you call on long after May.
“We get caught up in our own silos of knowledge and how our profession has always done things. What is often needed to move us forward is an outside perspective. How are professionals approaching similar problems that we deal with but in different ways and with other species? We have so much we can learn from each other.”
