Sponsorship Opportunities

Boise ISSA has two types of sponsorship opportunities.  5-6 monthly member meetings a year we partner with a sponsor to provide a lunch and non-sales high value add/professional growth talk with an expert.  We meet September through June but have a holiday mixer event in December, no meeting in May following our April conference, and a members only meeting in June before taking a break for the summer.

The other sponsorship opportunity is in support of our annual conference (conference.boiseissa.org) which is held every spring in Boise, ID.  If you’d like to know more contact an officer such as president[@]boiseissa.org.

Co-branding with partners is supported for monthly meeting sponsorship!
