Put your product in front of authors who are about to buy
Sponsor the Audiobook Summit · August 14–15, 2026 · online
Right now, thousands of indie authors are stuck on the same decision: whether to turn their book into an audiobook, and who to trust to help them do it. The Audiobook Summit is where they come to answer it — two days built entirely around audio, for authors ready to spend the money and get started. That’s the room your product belongs in.
Day 1 is a free, open vendor expo — the day authors come to shop. They’re weighing their options and deciding where their budget goes, and you get the stage to show them what you do. Day 2 is paid education taught by working pros, so the people who show up are serious enough to pay to be there.
Who you’re reaching: indie authors actively choosing narration tools, production help, distribution, and audio courses — buyers who are in-market right now.
What sponsoring gets you
Your sponsorship works as a sales channel through the event and well past it:
- A live demo stage on Day 1 to show your product to a primed, ready-to-buy audience.
- Leads that are yours to keep. Every author who grabs your offer opts in to you directly — real, consented contacts you can follow up with for as long as you like.
- Affiliate income. Earn 20% on every summit ticket you refer, so your sponsorship can pay for itself before the event even starts.
- Reach far beyond the two days — promotion across Indie Author Training, Indie Author Magazine, and the Wide for the Win community.
