» Strategic Partner Information

As the premier special event association in the industry, the International Special Events Society, Minneapolis-St. Paul Chapter (ISES MSP) has had a phenomenal year! Our membership has grown significantly and we are becoming an important voice on industry issues. ISES MSP has been fortunate in gaining the support of several strong, involved sponsors. To enhance these relationships and provide the level of educational services for our membership, we have developed a Strategic Partnership Alliance program. The program focuses solely on recognizing and enhancing long-term alliances between our valued industry strategic partners and the ISES Minneapolis-St. Paul members.

  • Unique—ISES is different than other industry associations. Our association connects independent/corporate/ association planners and producers, venues, transportation companies, and suppliers under one umbrella! ISES Certified Special Event Professional (CSEP) designation raises the level of expertise for hundreds of industry specialists each year in areas such as law, ethics, logistics and management.
  • Membership—ISES Minneapolis-St. Paul membership continues to grow and diversify. Our membership includes independent, corporate, and non-profit planners, vendors and entertainers. Because the special events industry is an active force in our ever-changing economy, ISES MSP provides frequent opportunities for networking and specialized education for our members and other industry professionals.
  • Purpose—ISES focuses on special event education for our members both locally and nationally, and providing strategic networking opportunities for our members to build their businesses through relationships. Our success is proven by the satisfaction and retention of our members and the continued support of our industry partners.
  • Targeted Exposure—We recognize there are many worthwhile contribution opportunities, but how many specifically target the most active special event planning companies in the area? ISES Minneapolis-St. Paul is in a unique position to provide specialized education and reach these individuals in the special events industry. As a Strategic Partner this year your company will reach a mailing list of more than 600 industry professionals each month.
  • Consistency—We offer our strategic partners visibility throughout the year in ISES Minneapolis-St. Paul publications and monthly invitations; feature articles about your company; links and logos on the ISES Minneapolis-St. Paul web site; podium recognition at monthly events including the Annual Star Awards hosted by ISES Minneapolis-St. Paul; complimentary registrations at monthly events and many more exposure opportunities depending on the level of partnership.
