The ORBIE Awards program, developed and refined by technology executives over 25 years, is refreshingly different from the crowded event marketplace and creates multiple opportunities to develop relationships that one-time transactional networking events simply can’t provide.
Business moves at the speed of trust, and traditional networking—voicemails, emails, trade shows—just isn’t working.
The Inspire ORBIE® Awards are different. As a sponsor, 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.
Break through the noise and sponsor the Inspire ORBIE Awards.
As a sponsor, 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 sponsors 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 level sponsor executives are introduced by a C-suite executive. 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 C-suite executives. 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.
