Security Forum Sponsorship 

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

CIO, Fortune 100 company

TechForum is the most informative and educational organization I have ever been associated with. I´ve been part of some really good organizations in my time, however they really do pale in comparison to the group that you have put together

Director IT, Fortune 50 company

I attended the last event and it was simply excellent. The organization was impeccable and the speakers were interesting, captivating and informative. I most certainly enjoy what you do. It's a rare occasion when industry events stay focused and avoid hype and advertising.

CISO, Fortune 500 company

As usual, you did a phenomenal job. It flowed so smoothly and all was arranged so professionally. I wish every event I attended and/or participated in were so well done. Talk about a who's who both in terms of speakers and most importantly in terms of participants. Couldn't ask for more.

The TechForum Advantage 

Levels

  • Pre-qualified attendees:  Invitation only to mid-range ($50 million - $1 billion) & F100 companies ($1 billion+)

  • Full access to every attendee: We are a one-day event and we are sized to scale well in one day, with an average of 160-80 registrants.

  • Consistent show rate of attendees is an average of 70%:  Most venues come in a 50% or worse in their show rates. 

  • Financial Services, but not limited to financial services:  We map to the demographics of New York and we are a Wall Street town. But we also attract the large healthcare and pharma companies in the region, media companies and large law firms.

  • Attendees focused on senior security & network infrastructure Issues:  No press, public relations, consultants, search professionals, academics, job seekers.

  • Registration list with emails (as per our Privacy Policy): registration list within 24 hours of end of event, listing those who attended and those who registered but did not attend.

  • Turn-key one-day event: We include skirted tables, chairs, wireless access, and breakfast, lunch, and snack breaks. 

  • Vendors fully participate in conference. This takes place on one floor. All breaks take place on exhibit floor. Your staff may attend all sessions and meals.

  • All attendees work for companies based in the NYC region.  Excellent motivation for your regional staff who will be working their own territory, not someone else’s.

  • Over 2 1/2 hours dedicated vendor time: The breaks are intervals when no presentations are scheduled, and all meals are shared with sponsors in exhibitor room.

  • High-value leads that tend to buy in quantity: 58% of attendees work for companies with 5000 employees; 78% have over 10,000 employees.

  • Repeat business is predictable. Many of our attendees are still doing business with a company they met at a TechForum event.

Why TechForum? Benefits of Sponsorship

Technology Managers Forum produces two one-day Security Forum: Trends in Enterprise Security executive conferences per year, held in a prime Manhattan location. 
 

All sponsorships come with dedicated exhibit time; meals and snack breaks; easy tabletop setup; free wireless hotspot; and a low-key, convivial atmosphere where attendees are eager to meet your representatives.  

Attendance at Security Forum is limited to pre-qualified IT managers from mid-to-large firms. We vet every attendee by their job responsibility, company name, and the revenue size of their organization. 

​

Straightforward excellent content, personal connections built on 25 years of trust, breaks dedicated to interaction among attendees and vendors, and honest dialogue that leads to that coveted follow-up meeting are just some of the reasons we’ve built a loyal following among vendors in-the-know. We’ve built a hard-won reputation for being the one executive-level boutique conference that promises connections that yield results.

​

We'd love to hear from you, and discuss how participating in a TechForum event can help you reach your sales and marketing goals.
