Partners
Just like the sponsors that have helped promote our events and summits in the past, our analyst and media partners play a key role in bringing the latest and greatest expertise and subject matter content to our summit participants and attendees.
Our analyst partners play an important role at each and every summit the SBS division of CDM Media puts on. From moderating panel discussions to providing expert insight into the many areas of debate at our business events, these partners are relied upon to truly bring the delegates and participants together in order to debate and identify solutions to specific issues within their industry.
Our media partners are perfect complements to the actual summits themselves. They provide quality publications, editorials and/or articles to supplement the topics and discussions at the actual events. We only target media partners that are relevant to the vertical for each individual event. Each of the media partners we’ve signed up for events previously and in the future continue to be happy with the type of exposure they receive in the form of delegate impressions and decision-maker eyes on their collateral.
Some of our partners include:
