Sponsorship
Sponsoring the NIBA Annual Convention positions your company at the center of the belting industry. Your sponsorship delivers unmatched visibility to decision-makers, potential partners, and industry leaders. Your brand will stand out among the competition in this highly concentrated gathering of qualified prospects and demonstrate your commitment to advancing the industry.

Manufacturer Hospitality Hub
NIBA’s Manufacturer Hospitality Suite Night will be held at the Gaylord Texan on Thursday, September 11. NIBA has already secured several event spaces to make it as easy as possible for our Manufacturer members to participate. In addition to private hospitality suites, we are offering a social “Hub” Happy Hour option. Attendees love to visit multiple hosted manufacturer events conveniently in one central area.
- Manufacturer Hospitality Hub Happy Hour (5:30 - 7:00 pm): There are 4 out of 6 private Happy Hour suites available (~624-696 sq ft each). These private meeting rooms will have a shared foyer space. Each company in the “hub” will contribute $5,000 for their private suite space with their own bar and bartender. The only additional cost is if a company in the hub wants to offer a signature cocktail, food, entertainment, 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.
