Sponsorship

Why sponsor SMPS Twin Cities?

Supporting the SMPS Twin Cities chapter links your name to the only non-profit focused on marketing professional services in the building industry. You become a valued partner in every virtual and in-person event we host, generating increased visibility for your organization and connectivity to a robust A/E/C network. Despite limitations over the past year, our chapter held 16 educational and networking events attended by hundreds of local and national AEC professionals. We highlight and thank our sponsors at every event.

As a sponsor of SMPS-TC, you also gain access to our database of more than 1,000 people that frequently make buying decisions for the services you provide. From September to June, the chapter offers monthly educational events, professional development seminars and social events customized for seasoned and emerging business development and marketing professionals. Approximately 50-75 professionals typically attend the luncheon and professional development programs.  These meetings and events give sponsors a premier opportunity to introduce products and/or services to a concentrated market.
