BIF-4 Sponsorships

Now in its fourth year, the BIF Summit has earned a national reputation for an approach often described as more conversation than conference. Where else but at the BIF Summit will people like designer and entrepreneur Marc Ecko and Best Buy Vice President Kal Patel share the stage with educator and civil rights activist Ruby Bridges, who at the age of six became the first African American child to desegregate an elementary school. Where else will Seventh Generation CEO Jeffrey Hollender swap stories with explorer Lewis Gordon Pugh, the first person to undertake a long distance swim at the North Pole? And where else can you connect with 37signals founder and CEO Jason Fried, MIT AgeLab director Joseph F. Coughlin, and co-developer of the first surgical robot Richard Satava all on the same day? Only at BIF-4.

The BIF Summit doesn’t pay its storytellers or hosts to participate. They participate because they understand the value of this important convergence. In 2007, the sold out BIF-3 Summit hosted participants from 174 organizations, 65 percent of whom were CEOs, presidents, founders or senior leaders within their organizations.

Lead sponsorship for the BIF-4 Summit is $10,000. BIF-4 Summit sponsors will have high-profile visibility with storytellers and participants alike.

Sponsor Benefits Include:

• Two complimentary tickets to the BIF-4 Summit
• Recognition as a BIF-4 Sponsor on signage throughout the conference
• Innovation profile about a leader in your organization featured in the BIF-4 program book
• Advertisement in the BIF-4 program book
• Placement of collateral or other small item in all attendee bags
• Organization logo placed on BIF-4 promotional materials
