Why Sponsor with iUG?

As the leading non-profit iMIS users group, iUG has an unparalleled reputation for providing unbiased support to the entire iMIS community. iUG’s over 7,500 individual members and perspective members are the decision makers that you want to reach with your marketing message. These prospects come from all corners of the iMIS community, represent your target market, and hail from all over the world. They make purchasing decisions at every level. iUG is always striving to create the most innovative sponsorship packages to help our Associate & Vendor members get their products and services in front of the the iMIS community.
For the first time ever, the entire iMIS ecosystem is coming together in one unified event.
In November 2026, the iMIS Users Group and Advanced Solutions International will bring together two powerful conferences — ASI’s iNNOVATIONS and the iUG Annual Conference — to create EMERGENCE.
This isn’t just another conference.
It’s where iMIS users, AiSPs, AiCs, and technology partners will gather to explore innovation, share strategies, and shape the future of the iMIS community.
And if your organization serves the association community through iMIS… this is where you want your brand to be seen.
Why Sponsors Are Paying Attention
EMERGENCE will bring together:
• 225–300 highly engaged iMIS professionals
• 70% association professionals actively managing membership, fundraising, events, and operations
• Decision-makers responsible for technology strategy
• 2.5 days of meaningful exhibitor engagement and networking opportunities
Unlike many conferences where AMS platforms are mixed, this audience is 100% iMIS-focused — meaning the people you meet are the exact community you serve.
Limited Sponsorship Opportunities
To create stronger engagement between sponsors and attendees, sponsorships are intentionally limited.
Sponsor packages include Spark, Ignite, Catalyst, and Visionary levels, each designed to expand your visibility and influence within the iMIS ecosystem.
Once these sponsorship levels fill, additional companies will not be able to participate onsite, so early commitment is strongly encouraged.
Exclusive iUG Add-On Opportunities
Beyond the EMERGENCE sponsorship packages, the iMIS Users Group offers additional branding and marketing opportunities available only through iUG, including:
• Pre-conference marketing emails
• Post-event email campaigns to attendees
• Sponsored webinars hosted by iUG
• Banner advertising in the iUG newsletter and website
• Marketplace advertising within the iUG ecosystem
• Branding opportunities like conference lanyards and upgraded booth placement
These add-ons allow you to extend your reach before, during, and after the event, helping your brand stay visible across the broader iMIS community.
Supporting the iMIS Community
All sponsorship revenue generated through these opportunities will go directly to the iMIS Users Group, helping support our mission of:
-
Educating and empowering iMIS users
-
Strengthening the iMIS ecosystem
-
Delivering events, resources, and innovation for the community
Your sponsorship doesn’t just increase your visibility — it directly supports the growth and success of the iMIS user community.
