What's NEW This Year?

The SPONSOR PORTAL provides one stop for creating company profiles, uploading logos, and scheduling meetings with other attendees ensuring access to high-quality leads and attendee connections with those best positioned to help their business

The SPONSOR SHOWCASE has been reimagined to foster quality engagement between Sponsors and Members during both Flash Networking Sessions throughout the agenda as well as a two-hour, dedicated Sponsor Showcase Reception on the evening of January 20, 2026. 

How does the Sponsor Portal work?

  • After receiving a sponsor administrator email, sponsors log into the portal, upload company assets, and create a profile
  • Attendees are able to view profiles and get insight into the company website, mission statement, etc
  • During flash networking or during sponsor showcase, attendees and sponsors can connect, exchange contact information, and set up future meetings during the event through the portal
  • Attendees and sponsors are able to quickly and seamlessly communicate and schedule meetings from the event app
  • Attendees and sponsors will have access to the communications and information gathered at the event through the portal and can continue to make meaningful connections after the showcase has ended
