Does my sponsorship fee pay for the entire cost of the event I m sponsoring? No. Sponsorship fees do not cover the entire cost of the event. The fee helps your association offset the event costs. What does it mean when it says there are exclusive sponsorships? What if I want to sponsor that event but don t want to be the exclusive sponsor? There is a grace period in which anyone wishing to be an exclusive sponsor has the opportunity to do so. Sponsorships go on sale March 1, 2017, 10:00 am Central. Members will have until March 31, 2017, to decide if they would like to be the exclusive sponsor (but act fast as it is first-come, first-served!). After March 31, the sponsorship is no longer offered at the exclusive level. Only three sponsorships are offered at the exclusive level the Joint Welcome Reception, the Joint Welcome Breakfast and the Joint IML (Inspire. Motivate. Lead.) Talks. These three events have traditionally been the most popular to sponsor. FAQs All current NIBA & PTDA member companies will be presented with a program of sponsorship opportunities by March 1, 2017. Privileges and benefits of sponsorship (including recognition) as well as sponsorship fees will be outlined in the event s sponsorship program. To fully participate in the privileges and benefits, a deadline is set in advance. For this event, the deadline is June 30, 2017. While sponsorships may still be secured once the deadline has passed, there may be privileges and benefits that are no longer included. A company may be the exclusive sponsor of an event by (1) securing the sponsorship by paying the Exclusive Sponsorship fee (if one is listed in the package) or by (2) purchasing all of the partial sponsorship opportunities available for that event (e.g., if the sponsorship is offered as $250 with a limit of 5 sponsors, one company can secure an exclusive sponsorship by purchasing all 5 slots for $1,250).

Only those sponsorship privileges stated in the event s sponsorship program are authorized other promotions, such as distribution Why are there limits on the number of sponsors for an event? For example, ten sponsorships are being offered for the Joint Closing Reception & Dinner. If there are too many sponsors, the sponsorship becomes watered down.

Sold sponsorships will be updated weekly on the NIBA/PTDA Joint Industry Summit website page (). Sponsorships are sold on a first-come/first-served basis when the sponsorship is paid in full.
