Sponsor Dome
Fest West 2027

Dome Fest West is the only festival in the United States dedicated entirely to fulldome film, and it is the one week a year this industry gathers in one place.

In 2026 we welcomed 402 ticket holders across four days. Among them were 39 planetarium and dome venue staff, 34 academic and research professionals, and 60 studio and content creator teams. More than half of the professional audience traveled in from outside Colorado, including 35 attendees from 15 countries.

For a sponsor, that means you are not buying impressions in a crowd. You are spending four days in a room with the people who program domes, produce for them, and decide what gets bought.

2027 SPONSORSHIP DECK

Why sponsor DFW27?

01.

Where Deals Get Made

Dome Fest West is a deal-making hub of the planetarium and fulldome industry. Venues are looking for new content. Creators are making extraordinary films. Distributors are connecting the two. Those conversations happen on the Fulldome Forward floor, and sponsors are in the middle of them.

02.

Reach Dome Decision Makers

Planetarium and dome venue professionals decide what plays in their theater, what systems they buy, and who they license from. Growing this audience is our top priority for 2027. Presenting, Platinum, and Gold sponsors present to them inside Fiske Planetarium's dome, with real time for a full demo.

03.

Built for Doing Business

At Fulldome Forward, sponsors get a booth, a presentation slot, Speed Networking with the full attendee body, and Sponsor Office Hours for meetings booked in advance. Presenting and Platinum also receive curated introductions to attending venue leaders, arranged personally by DFW leadership.

04.

Two Audiences, One Week

Fulldome Forward is where the industry does business. The film festival is where curated fulldome cinema screens for a wider creative and public audience. Sponsors can lean toward either, or reach both.

05.

Proof of Your Impact

Every sponsor receives a personalized post festival report: your app impressions, your profile views, where you ranked among all sponsors, and who was in the room. We would rather hand you the numbers than ask you to take our word for it.
