2027 Event Partnership

Get your brand in the room with the people who make direct marketing decisions. DMAW’s Event Partnership connects you with 1,350+ members from nonprofits, agencies and consulting firms. 40% of them are executives or directors, and half have more than 10 years of experience.

How it works: Your total investment covers two things. The partnership fee pays for year-round recognition. The minimum event spend goes toward the sponsorships you choose from our à la carte menu. That menu includes summits, the MAXI Awards, Best of Direct, happy hours, webinars, field trips and our new Philadelphia and Boston events.

Every tier includes:

• Year-round recognition on our website and in e-news
• A dedicated account manager
• A social media post announcing your partnership
• A “DMAW Partner” digital badge and logo
• Complimentary tickets with every sponsorship
• 10% off corporate membership

Higher tiers add more: Direct Impact magazine ads, Sourcebook ads, Member Spotlights, member email blasts, press releases and features in The NonProfit Times.

Choose your tier:

• Visionary – $14,000 ($4,000 partnership fee + $10,000 event spend)
• Catalyst – $11,000 ($3,000 partnership fee + $8,000 event spend)
• Connector – $7,000 ($2,000 partnership fee + $5,000 event spend)
• Advocate – $5,000 ($2,000 partnership fee + $3,000 event spend)

You can pick all your events when you sign, which gets you first choice of placements. Or you can choose as the year goes on, first come, first served. The full fee is invoiced when you sign the contract, is due within 30 days and is non-refundable. All event selections must be made by September 20, 2027, and unused funds don’t carry over to 2028. Bridge Conference sponsorships are sold separately and don’t count toward your tier.
