Influencers & Product Demos

Do you want to demonstrate your organization's thought leadership and insight into the strategic and daily challenges of our members?  Then these are the sponsorship opportunities for you!

These packages include speaking in front of event attendees. You don't just get to show off your products and ideas. You are embedded into the agenda - the same agenda as the educational sessions - so you are not just a presenter of problems, you are a presenter of solutions.

Vendor Spotlights - Unlike years past, attendees will no longer be asked to get up and move to you... we will bring you to them. The audience is all yours for fifteen minutes. Your session will occur on the same stage as the rest of the agenda.

The Main Stage ("Launching Pad") will feature Keynotes & Card Brands speakers.
"Galaxy Stage" and "Lunar Stage" are two equally sized rooms side-by-side on Day 2.

Each of the sponsorship opportunities in this category includes the following elements:

  • Logo placement and name tied to the session
  • Name placement in the agenda for your session. "Presented by [your name]".

EP3: Exhibitor Preference Point Program

MAC's EP3 will take effect on November 1, 2022.

MAC utilizes an Exhibitor Preference Point Program (EP3) to recognize exhibitor support for Level Up and other MAC programs. The cumulative number of points determines the time and date a company is given to choose exhibit space for the following year’s conference. Exhibit space is assigned in the order of priority points, and priority points are received throughout the year by completing tasks and by overall spending as indicated within this policy.
