Sponsors

Sponsorship sales for the 2026 FICP Strategic Leaders Event open on August 20, 2026. Learn more about the Strategic Leaders Event sponsorship levels and pricing on page 9 of the FICP Prospectus.

While this event is organized by and for meetings professionals, FICP is offering an exclusive opportunity for hospitality partners to network with this group during select portions of this program, including a keynote speaker and dinner on December 7 and breakfast and lunch on December 8.

Additional Information About Attending and Sponsoring the FICP Strategic Leaders Event:
  • FICP event entries are offered through sponsorship.
  • Only active FICP hospitality partners are permitted to apply for sponsorship and attend FICP events. The fee to become a hospitality partner for 2026 is $455.
  • FICP maintains a balanced supplier-to-buyer ratio at all events. As such, hospitality partner entries for all events are limited and offered on a first-come, first-served basis. Due to demand, FICP events have been known to sell out within a few minutes of sponsorship sales opening. To maximize your chance of securing an entry and attending an event, plan to be ready to apply promptly at 11:00 a.m. CDT on August 20.
  • On August 20, a link to access the application will be posted above. Prior to August 20, all hospitality partners will receive detailed instructions via email on how to submit an application.
  • FICP regularly searches for unique ideas and activations to enhance our events – items that bring “sizzle” or a “wow-factor” to attendees. Various RFPs are conducted to source these needs, and hospitality partners are also invited to share their ideas outside of the RFP period. While FICP may offer sponsorship in return for an in-kind contribution/service, interested parties are still encouraged to submit a sponsorship sales application on March 19.
