The ORBIE Awards program, developed and refined by technology executives over twenty years, is refreshingly different from the crowded technology event marketplace and creates multiple opportunities to develop relationships that one-time transactional networking events simply can’t provide.
Ask a C-suite executive and they’ll tell you — their success often depends upon business partners, innovators and strategic technology providers to help them achieve ambitious corporate technology objectives. But reaching a technology leader can seem impossible.
Break through the noise and sponsor the Inspire ORBIE Awards.
Sponsors are invited to nominate their best CIO and CISO clients to highlight their success and the business value they have created.
All ORBIE nominees and finalists are honored at a series of executive events leading up to the ORBIE Awards. Throughout this process, ORBIE finalists and sponsors attend events, providing multiple opportunities to develop meaningful relationships.
At the Finalist Dinner, where ORBIE finalists are recognized over a multi-course dinner with sommelier-selected wine pairings, all Gold and Silver level sponsor executives are introduced by a CIO or CISO. The collegial format of this dinner presents a unique opportunity for strengthening existing relationships and establishing new connections.
Select sponsor executives have the opportunity to introduce finalists and present an ORBIE trophy on-stage at the ORBIE Awards. This professionally produced awards ceremony honoring ORBIE finalists and revealing the ORBIE winners, features a high-profile executive keynote along with video introductions of the finalists and select sponsors.
Every ORBIE Awards program is presented by the local Inspire Leadership Network chapter, whose membership is made up exclusively of qualifying CIOs and CISOs. Each chapter is led by an Advisory Board and convenes throughout the year in non-commercial, member-led programs.
Inspire Leadership Network chapters have a maximum of five Underwriters. These trusted vendor partners participate year-round with all aspects of the local chapter, including Advisory Board Meetings, Member Programs and ORBIE Awards Events.
