Scopism holds a unique position as the home of SIAM best practice. Our network, including the 3,500 strong online community, proves how effective collaboration through networking can be.
Scopism events, case studies and white papers aim to provide value for both sponsors and content consumers, helping sponsoring organizations to reach new potential clients and build their profiles in the SIAM community as thought leaders and contributors.
In this blog, our partners 2Grips and Sofigate share their experiences of working with Scopism. Their experiences demonstrate that sponsoring Scopism events and content enabled them to build relationships within the SIAM community while creating new business opportunities and strengthening their market presence.
Service North: The Conference Sponsorship Experience
2Grips have been a long-time supporter of Scopism and of Service North, the global SIAM conference. In 2024, they were an exhibitor and also had a speaking slot at the November event. 2Grips gained exclusive access to network development and knowledge exchange among industry peers by sponsoring Service North. The opportunity to present was a core benefit of their sponsorship, enabling them to boost their thought leadership and produce valuable associated marketing materials for LinkedIn and other platforms.
“Being able to present at an event like Service North is invaluable. It highlights our expertise and provides content we can share across our marketing channels.” – Jordy Mertens, COO, 2Grips
Beyond their presentation, the event enabled 2Grips to gain deeper insights into emerging trends and best practices. A standout moment was learning about the NHS’s pandemic testing program rollout across the UK, which provided actionable insights into SIAM implementation challenges.
“There were many high-quality presentations from other participants that added a layer of value, equipping 2Grips with fresh perspectives they could apply in their client engagements.”
In addition to knowledge-sharing, networking opportunities played a crucial role in the event’s success.
“Networking with like-minded professionals is one of the greatest benefits of this event. Meeting others who share our passion for SIAM is always rewarding.” – Danny Van Vosselen, Founder & CEO, 2Grips.
Overall, 2Grips found their sponsorship experience highly valuable and recommended it to others in the industry.
“Sponsoring the Scopism Conference represents a great opportunity for raising our profile and meeting like-minded SIAM people. I would recommend this opportunity to other businesses. What are you waiting for!”
Following the event, the 2Grips presentation video was shared in the Scopism SIAM community, extending their reach and providing long-lasting visibility.
