Dinner Dialogue Series

The BPI Network will host and facilitate a series of live dinner engagements inviting 12 – 15 senior executives to gather and discuss a key issue or challenge facing organizations today. Each dinner will feature an expert speaker, typically representing the sponsor organization, who will provide an expert industry perspective directly to attendees. These engagements are designed to be highly interactive, intimate engagements allowing experts to directly engage with relevant senior decision makers in an environment directed by content and not “hard-sell” sales discussions. Dinner Dialog series attract senior leaders across numerous industries, all eager to network with peers and share true thought leadership among the group. It is optimal to host these dinners in conjunction with a content product or platform (white paper or custom thought leadership research initiative). Sponsorship includes all content development, audience development, logistics and venue management, event facilitation and hosting costs. Attendee leads are delivered to sponsors. Events can be hosted globally, but may require additional budget for travel, expenses or venue.

Custom Thought Leadership Initiatives

The BPI Network develops and executes major authority leadership programs designed to provide new business insights and advocacy relevant to our membership and strategic interest communities. These programs may include a range of original research, content and executive engagement activities. BPI Network thought leadership initiatives frequently include formation of high-profile executive advisory and faculty boards, global executive surveys, qualitative interviews with relevant experts, business leaders and academic authorities, as well as analytics around business trends, best practices, new processes and product categories. These initiatives often also include the creation of program microsites presenting our advocacy positions, authority leadership and relevant curated content from around the world. Research results in major reports, as well as supporting content such as infographics, video presentations, webinars and more. Our findings generate extensive media coverage, social media discussion, and content syndication through partner networks.

Sponsors are highly visible in all content products and events and invited to offer their own bylined opinion pieces and contributions to complement the BPI Network’s own work and research.

• Cost of sponsorship depends on the size and scope of individual programs and the number of sponsoring brands.
