MBBI Illinois Sponsorship Opportunities Now Available for 2021.

Despite the challenges we all face during this pandemic, MBBI has planned a dynamic Sponsorship

Program to showcase your firm in 2021. In recognition of the financial hurdles that our sponsors

face, we are offering a 15 percent discount on 2021 sponsorship for Platinum, and 20 percent

discount for Gold, Silver and Dealmaker levels.

We are excited for you to participate and enjoy the recognition our sponsors receive in the M&A

community. One good referral easily pays the cost of sponsorship for several years.

Our networking and educational programs are attracting members and participants, both virtually and

in person, which further extends our sponsors’ outreach. Sponsors are featured in a positive,

professional manner that promotes their specific brand. Additionally, they receive many benefits and

discounts over the course of the year that makes participation very cost effective.

Each Illinois sponsorship level has been tailored to offer significant value. The Illinois Chapter offers 4

levels: Platinum, Gold, Silver and Midwest Deal Makers.

The attached Sponsorship Levels and Benefits Chart provides the details for each level.

A few highlights of the many benefits are listed below:

All sponsorship levels include a 12-month benefits program

Sponsor brand recognition at each 2021 Illinois event and the MBBI premier annual

winter conference for January 2022

Sponsorship includes annual membership for you and your associate(s)

Complimentary attendance to regular MBBI meetings

Participation opportunities at premier events

Inclusion of brand and/or logo in MBBI communications and promotions

Sponsors are given preferential promotional opportunities, including articles for

MBBI monthly newsletter

We are asking for your commitment for the 2021 MBBI Illinois Chapter sponsorship program. As always,

sponsor logos will be placed on the MBBI banners, emails and promotional material in the order that

payments are received. We therefore urge you to ensure your organization receives top placement by

submitting your payment as soon as possible.
