Summary of Sponsorship Benefits

Details of Sponsorship Benefits

Where and as noted, sponsors receive a combination of complimentary conference registrations for their employee representatives and for their institutional investor buyside clients who would otherwise be approved for the $800 special registration fee and who have not already registered for the conference (“buyside customer”). Buyside customer passes may not be used by sponsor employee representatives in any circumstance.
Additional passes for all level sponsors, including General sponsors, may be purchased for the sponsoring firm’s employees for the discounted rate of $800, at the discretion of CBOE, and the number may be limited.
In order to encourage qualified buyside attendees to the Conference, CBOE will allow additional complimentary registration passes for all level sponsoring firms’ employees, provided that the sponsor registers additional qualified buyside customers, who would otherwise qualify for the zero or $800 rate. One additional firm pass will be granted for every two additional buyside customers that the firm registers (beyond those offered as part of the sponsorship agreement specified in the table above). In order to receive this incentive, the buyside customers' names must be given in advance to CBOE/registered and noted as the firm’s customer, must not have already been registered for the conference, and must attend the conference.
A one-page color advertisement will be included in the on-site conference agenda handbook, and an ad will appear in the sponsor section of the conference app with a link to the firm’s website. (Note that these benefits are not included with General sponsorship.)
Notice of company sponsorship included in conference marketing materials, pre-conference notices, and company listing on conference website (following confirmation of sponsorship and receipt of payment).
Up to two pieces of company literature can be placed on the general conference sponsor table.
Two pieces of literature or a promotional item will be included in the conference bag that is given to all attendees. (Not available to Silver or General level sponsors.)
