Sponsorship Packages 

Causeway is an energetic, collaborative networking organisation, supported by Scottish and Irish governments, that fosters business and professional collaboration across the Irish sea. This prestigious black-tie event has grown in popularity each year and attracts over 250 leading business leaders and professionals. Our guests come from a variety of sectors across the Island of Ireland and Scotland, as well as dignitaries, decision-makers and government officials from both sides of the Irish Sea.

Our Awards, now in their 8th year, are designed to identify and acknowledge the individuals and companies operating on either side of the Irish Sea who collaborate, cultivate, and drive business opportunities to the Celtic nations of Ireland, Northern Ireland and Scotland.

We are seeking to attract brands who will benefit from this easy access to business opportunities and the team at Causeway will work to bring a positive return on investment for all of our sponsors.

We expect to have Irish and Scottish Government ministers in attendance to give speeches. Last year’s speakers included Richard Lochhead, Minister for Business, Trade, Tourism and Enterprise, Depute Lord Provost of the City of Edinburgh, Councillor Lezley Marian Cameron as well as guests from Cyrenians and Johnnie Walker Princes Street.

Johnnie Walker Princes Street is crowned by two world-class rooftop bars and terrace with breath-taking views of the Edinburgh skyline, the Explorers' Bothy whisky bar is stocked with 150 different whiskies, and the 1820 cocktail bar where drinks are paired with a carefully curated menu.
