Director of Event Sponsorship Sales

The Tie is the leading provider of information services for digital assets. We operate across three core verticals, institutional, data redistribution, and corporate access and advisory services. The Tie's clients include hundreds of the leading traditional and crypto-native hedge funds, OTC desks, MMs, asset managers, banks, and other institutional market participants.

In addition to our data offerings, we host four annual The Tie Conferences— the most exclusive, invitation-only events for institutional leaders in crypto. These gatherings bring together fund managers, protocols, exchanges, allocators, and regulators to drive meaningful dialogue in a private and high signal environment. Unlike other events in crypto, service providers are only able to attend The Tie events via sponsorship - creating an exclusive setting for our high profile attendees. 

Our flagship event, The Bridge, attracts more than 1,000 attendees annually across more than 250 unique institutions. Out East Summit, our most exclusive event, is a 3 day private retreat at a vineyard in the North Fork for 300 institutional executives. Our Innovate Series are all day institutional side conferences hosted alongside major crypto events like ETH Denver and Consensus.
