Meet and mingle with some of the world’s best architects.

The Company holds a number of important, prestigious events throughout the year and has opportunities for your business to be involved.

Below are some of the opportunities that we would be pleased to discuss with you to work in partnership to ensure your objectives are realised and be part of the Company’s promotion of the profession and mentoring of younger members.

This is a rare opportunity to speak directly to some of the world’s best architects.

Installation and Spring Luncheons

Sponsorship £3,000

Includes sponsor’s name and logo on menu, place cards and marketing material, four lunch places, a vote of thanks by the Master/Prime Warden’s speech, and an opportunity to respond in front of some of the world’s best architects.

The Installation Court Luncheon takes place in September and provides the setting for the Master/Prime Warden to launch their years agenda. The Spring Luncheon takes place in April.

We also have the pleasure of presenting two of our prestigious awards at the Installation Lunch – the Annual Architecture Book of the Year Award and the Stuart Murphy Travel Award.

The lunches take place in one of the City’s Livery Halls, most of which are rarely open to the general public. The £3000 sponsorship cost of each lunch is used to subsidise the cost of attendance for younger members, apprentices and students; the mentorship of whom is one of the WCCA’s aims.

The sponsorship opportunities include four lunch places and a vote of thanks by the Master/Prime Warden’s speech, and an opportunity to respond in front of some of the world’s best architects.

Sponsorship £3,800

Includes sponsor’s name and logo on menu, place cards and marketing material, four dinner places, a vote of thanks by the Master/Prime Warden’s speech, and an opportunity to respond in front of some of the world’s best architects.

The Annual Banquet is a white-tie event and is held every January and is an opportunity to look forward to the forthcoming year.
The sponsorship of the Annual Banquet is £3800, which includes four tickets to the event and inclusion of the sponsor details on all promotional materials.

The event is held in one of the Livery Halls not normally open to the public and provides an opportunity to speak to some of the world’s best architects. The sponsorship helps subsidise the cost of the Annual Banquet for students and apprentices. Last year the WCCA was praised by Alderman & Sheriff Alison Gowman for the attendance of so many young people and this is something we would like to encourage and hope you will help us provide that opportunity.

To cost to sponsor this event is £1400, which would subsidise the cost of tickets for students and apprentices and contribute towards refreshments. The sponsor would be featured prominently in all advertising and marketing material and would be thanked on the evening by the Master/Prime Warden. The event would take place in one of the City’s Livery Halls, which are not normally open to the public, and will be available to view online.

Sponsorship £10,000

This enables practice visits to be recorded and available online for architects and colleagues to view, and a chance to be associated with architects’s lifelong learning.

The first of our Annual Literary Festivals will be held in June 2023. The Literary Festival will coincide with The London Festival of Architecture. It will take place in Temple Bar where publishers and booksellers on all aspects related to architecture and the built environment will host sales and events.

The event will centre around Temple Bar which will host book readings and discussions. There will also be an awards evening for categories of published work in conjunction with the the World Architecture Festival.

This will be a high profile event attracting architects and others involved in the built environment but also open to the general public. It will promote the WCCA and The City and the wider industry. It will be an opportunity for sponsors to raise the profile of their work and their commitment to excellence. We would like to attract five sponsors from different sectors of the industry for £10,000 each.
