2018 Sponsorship Opportunities Guide

2018 SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES GUIDE

INCREASE YOUR IMPACT The Chamber’s vision is a globally competitive Upstate economy where businesses succeed and people prosper. Our 2018 programming has been intentionally designed with this in mind. Sponsoring a Chamber program or event puts your company in front of your peers and potential customers.

So whether you’re trying to get in front of small business owners, young professionals, or CEO’s, or whether you’re looking to speak to large crowds or have one-on-one conversations, we have the perfect opportunity for you. *One of the many benefits to being a Greenville Chamber Investor is access to Investor pricing for event sponsorships and registration. As you will notice throughout this guide, Non-Investor pricing is denoted in parenthesis with an asterik beside the discounted Investor pricing.

Let us help connect you to the right audience.

Let’s do something that matters today.
