The Sponsor Bureau is led by founder Kyle Conway.

Kyle learned the art of sponsorship sales as a young sales rep at the famed HOST COMMUNICATIONS in their Dallas, Texas operation.  One of the top sports marketing firms in the world at the time, Host Communications was the leader in affinity marketing specializing in collegiate and participatory sports. While at Host Communications, Kyle worked on many properties including the NCAA Final Four®, the NCAA College World Series®, Division 1 Conference Championships, various college football bowl games, the annual Texas vs Oklahoma– Red River Shootout/Rivalry®, as well as other experiential marketing properties like Hoop It Up®.

Kyle concluded his career at Host Communications as the Director of Sales for the legendary Dave Campbell’s Texas Football® magazine and the Texas Football® Classic, the first-ever, triple header high school football game held in the Alamo Dome.  For more information on Dave Campbell’s Texas Football, www.TexasFootball.com

Kyle took his sponsorship skills to another famous employer in 2001 when he joined the Grapevine, (Texas) Convention & Visitors Bureau.  Known as one of the most progressive CVBs in the country, Kyle worked in every sales arena in Grapevine including Tourism, Convention Sales and Festivals & Events during his 10 year career in Grapevine. Grapevine events continue to win national and international acclaim including numerous Top 100 Event in North America designations, and being named an IFEA World Festival & Event City in 2012.  Grapevine events alone host over 500,000 event attendees annually .  For more information on the Grapevine CVB, www.GrapevineTexasUSA.com.

Today, Kyle’s passion is for the company he founded and the clients they serve. The Sponsor Bureau exists to provide expert sponsorship sales and marketing counsel to the midsized event or organization anywhere in the world.

Kyle is a sought-after speaker and emcee. He’s an average guitar player but is working on it. Kyle married Susan, his college sweetheart, 25 years ago and their life today is mostly funding two college students and a 17 year old with expensive taste.
