Sponsorship Partner
Join existing sponsoring partners, MB Financial and CBIZ in becoming one of the remaining two sponsoring partners at the twice monthly BizCastHQ CXO taping sessions. If you want to amp up your business development activities in an environment where your team can have a relaxed and engaging conversation with leaders of successful Chicagoland companies, this partnership should be at the top of your marketing budget spend.
So what does BizCastHQ do?
We confirm attendance by leaders of successful Chicagoland companies to a networking and taping session two days a month. We target getting 12 confirmed attendees per day with typically 9 to 12 CXOs attending. About half in a morning session and the other half in an afternoon session. All told, about roughly 20+ CXOs per month. With introductions to start, and while each CXO is interviewed individually, the other CXOs network with each other and our partners. Your team gets to engage with the CXO in a relaxed environment, developing a relationship and many times, gaining unique information or insights, that permits an easy follow-up meeting with the CXO. Our executives, wherever possible, help in engaging the CXOs with our sponsors. BTW, at the end of the session we hold tours of our venues (Life/EventCreative and VenueOne North, the former Bulls training center), and between the networking and the tour, almost all CXOs stick around for the entire 2 to 2.5 hour session.

Why do CXOs attend?
With your sponsorship, the CXOs get a free 1 ½ to 2 minute video that is focused on their thought leadership. These videos are posted on our Media partner sites including our lead partner Entrepreneur Magazine. These videos improve the CXOs and their company’s brand position and is sought after as an important component of their social media and marketing profile. Take a look at www.BizCastHQ.com for some examples.
