Sponsorship Overview.
The Leadership Summit series provides unmatched
exposure to key C-Level decision makers within the top 30 metro markets. For less than the cost of a few in-person sales calls you can speak to a group of 80-130 CEOs and key executives. Selected sponsors receive a speaking opportunity, a 6 foot draped exhibit table, electricity, WiFi, breakfast and lunch for two sponsorship representatives. Speaking opportunities are in front of the entire audience (typically a 2-minute self/company introduction then introduce the next speaker or intro/moderate the next panel). Be sure to reserve early to avoid a wait list situation. If you have any questions after reviewing the sponsorship pages on this site or the

I pretty much stopped doing these types of events because of poor attendee quality and volume but this totally changed my mind. I'm going to send out an internal email to my peers recommending they do your events." - Barracuda Networks, Tim Solomon

Leadership Summits are designed for maximum efficiency for both busy business executives and sales professionals seeking to make valued contacts for prospective relationships. Our audience is comprised of CEOs and senior executives from metropolitan companies with at least 25 employees, who are recruited on an invitation-only basis. They attend to meet peers and learn new tactics for success. Sponsors are also summit participants, with generous table exhibition space to anchor your attendance, and the flexibility to meet and network with these executives during several opportunities afforded in the schedule.
We handle every event-related logistical issue, making it very easy for our sponsoring partners to simply show up at 7 am to set up display tables before attendees arrive at 7:30. In addition to breakfast and lunch, there are three breaks during the program that allows every attendee and sponsor plenty of time to meet. Speaking opportunities are in front of the entire audience (typically a 2-minute self/company introduction then introduce the next speaker or intro/moderate the next panel).
The Leadership Summit is a horizontal event, drawing executives who work across many industries within the region - retailing, manufacturing, professional services, finance/insurance, transportation/logistics, healthcare, universities, and government - who are interested in a broad ranges of products and services provided by sponsors.
