Event Partnerships
Co-Hosted & Sponsored Events
Bring the audience and content. We bring the space, production, and Folsom experience. Revenue-share partnerships mean zero upfront venue cost on our entry tier.
The Model
Your Event, Our Stage
You're not renting a venue — you're co-producing an event. You bring the audience, the brand, and the content. Granite City brings the space, the tech, the production infrastructure, and the Folsom experience. The risk drops to near zero because we absorb the hard costs in exchange for a revenue share.

What makes a Granite City event more than a conference: the experiences woven around it. Historic Folsom and the Sierra Foothills turn a one-day meeting into something attendees actually remember.
Preferred Hotel Blocks
Negotiated room blocks at nearby hotels so your attendees stay close and stay easy.
Networking Dinners
Curated group dinners on Historic Sutter Street to keep conversations going.
Welcome Receptions
Kick-off cocktails and appetizers to break the ice before day one begins.
Outdoor Experiences
Paddleboarding on Lake Natoma, hiking, and biking the American River trail.
Brewery Experiences
Private tastings and after-parties at Folsom's local breweries and taprooms.
