2022 Annual Convention Sponsorship Opportunities
A variety of sponsorship levels are available exclusively to NIBA members. Your support of the NIBA Annual Convention is crucial to the success of this event!
All sponsorship opportunities are available and sold on a first-come, first-served basis until all items are sold. Member companies can choose a sponsorship level to receive the benefits listed and then select one opportunity offered at that level.
Run the numbers! The Diamond+ and Diamond sponsorship levels include up to four registrations and premium exhibit space (approximately $4k value)! If your company plans to send multiple registrants and exhibit, either of these levels are sure to be a win-win solution with the addition of prime sponsor exposure to position your company as a leader in the belting community.
Looking to enhance your sponsorship? We’ve highlighted a few creative ways to maximize your commitment and add that “wow” factor your company is looking for! Refer to the section below for more information. We are happy to mix and match benefits to suit your company’s needs!
Opportunities available outside of the Annual Convention: NIBA is offering sponsorship engagements throughout the year such as sponsored webinars and advertisements in the Belt Line newsletter and on our website, which you can bundle with your convention sponsorship package to create more ROI throughout the year.
Terms: Payment is due upon receipt of the sponsorship agreement and invoice.

Sponsorship Extras
If you're looking for a unique way to enhance your sponsorship presence or have a limited budget, but would still like to support the 2022 NIBA Annual Convention, consider sponsoring a golf hole during the NIBA Golf Outing on Tuesday, September 27.
Golf Hole Sponsor — $500 (6/18 SOLD)
The NIBA golf outing will take place onsite at the resort's TPC San Antonio Oaks course. For $500 your logo will be featured on a pin flag and yard sign at your respective sponsored hole and on signage near the golf outing registration area. You also have the option to insert an item in the golf swag bag that all golfers receive. 18-hole sponsorship opportunities are available to NIBA members. Limit one sponsor per hole.
Manufacturer Hospitality Night
NIBA’s Manufacturer Hospitality Suite Night will be held at the JW Marriott Hill Country on Thursday, September 29. NIBA has already secured several event spaces to make it as easy as possible for our Manufacturer members to participate. In addition to private suites, we are offering a social “Hub” Happy Hour option. The cost savings is in the shared bars that NIBA will organize in a central area.
- Manufacturer Hospitality Hub Happy Hour (5:30 - 7:00 pm): Several designated meeting spaces within one large divided room to entertain attendees. Each company in the “hub” will contribute $6,000 for their semi-private suite space and shared bars. The only additional cost is if a company in the hub wants to offer an additional signature cocktail, food, or décor within their designated space. NIBA staff are available to help tailor your Hub setup to meet your goals.
- Private Manufacturer Hospitality Suite (7:00 - 11:00 pm): Private meeting rooms for manufacturers that prefer a more exclusive space and to select their own food and beverage. Companies may select the suite space of their choice.
NEXT STEPS: To request a hospitality suite:
- Complete an application form - new form coming soon!
- Rank your preferred Hub or private suite location
- Return to Amanda Stimart at astimart@niba.org
Once confirmed, NIBA will provide Manufacturer members with the appropriate contact information at the hotel to coordinate logistical details for their respective hospitality suite.
