Why Partner with ISES
The ISES Northern California Chapter (ISES-NCC) is dedicated to ISES’s mission to educate, advance and promote the special events industry and its network of professionals. As such, ISES NCC’s members form the authoritative voice on special events throughout the San Francisco Bay Area region. ISES is a unique association as it connects independent/corporate/association planners and producers, venues, transportation services, catering, design, floral, rental, technical, and production suppliers all under one umbrella.

As an active force in driving the local economy, event professionals are the perfect audience for promoting new and innovative products. ISES-NCC is the direct connect to reach this valuable audience for organizations desiring to promote their unique products and services to a targeted audience.

Definition of Strategic Partnerships, Sponsors and Advertisers

Partners of ISES-NCC fall into three general categories:

Strategic Partners: Strategic Partners are year-long contractual relationships between local ISES member and non-member organizations that help financially support the objectives of the Chapter, which is to provide quality education programs and business opportunities to our members. Strategic partnerships are intended to build success for both the partner and the Chapter through a targeted, mutually beneficial relationship. Strategic partnerships are contract specific and designed to meet the specific needs of the partners through a specially designed benefits package.
Sponsor: ISES-NCC would not be able to do its work and provide excellence and opportunity to our membership without the generous donations of time, products and services by our sponsors. Sponsors donate products, services, or cash for a specific function; most often for education programs, the Annual Gala Awards event, and other ISES functions that require venue or food/beverage hosts. These sponsorships tend to be onetime focused (though the same sponsor may sponsor many events throughout the year). Benefits for sponsorship are based on a comprehensive level-based system, which recognizes sponsors for their donations at each ISES
event program.

Advertiser: Recognizing its unique, targeted audience, ISES offers those seeking direct exposure to the local special events community the perfect outlet for promotion. Advertisers are ISES member or non-member companies, either locally or nationally, that purchase advertising in the monthly chapter newsletter or on the chapter website. Exposure benefits are contracted specifically with the advertiser to meet their need.
