Developed by C-suite leaders for C-suite leaders, the ORBIE Awards provide a series of non-commercial events where authentic relationships grow naturally—and business follows.
Let’s face it: traditional networking—voicemails, emails, trade shows—just isn’t working.
The ORBIE Awards are different. As a partner, you’re not working a booth—you’re connecting with C-suite leaders at exclusive events that build real trust and lead to real deals.
As a partner, you’re invited to nominate your standout C-suite clients—celebrating their success and showcasing the business impact you’ve achieved together.
Every nominee is recognized throughout a series of high-impact executive events leading up to the ORBIE Awards. These intimate gatherings bring finalists and partners together again and again, creating natural opportunities to build trust, deepen relationships, and open doors to future business.
At the Finalist Dinner, where ORBIE finalists are recognized over a multi-course dinner with sommelier-selected wine pairings, all Gold and Silver partners are personally introduced by a C-suite executive—creating a powerful moment of social proof and credibility. The collegial format of this intimate dinner presents a unique opportunity for strengthening existing relationships and establishing new connections.
At the ORBIE Awards, a professionally produced awards show, select partners take the stage to present trophies and share the spotlight with recognized finalists—all in front of a room full of local executives.
As an Underwriter, you don’t just show up once—you get year-round access to your market’s top C-suite executives, in settings designed for trust, connection, and collaboration.
Each Inspire Leadership Network chapter is made up entirely of qualified C-suite leaders, guided by a local Advisory Board, and convening throughout the year for non-commercial, member-led programs.
With only five Underwriters per chapter, you’ll have a seat at the table—participating in Advisory Board meetings, member programs, and ORBIE Awards events—building trusted relationships that lead to real business deals.
