CSIA 2025 Conference Sponsorship Opportunities
Looking for something special? If you have an idea for a sponsorship — such as a room drop, branded treats or gift bags — that is not listed here, let’s hear it! CSIA is always looking for ways to enhance the attendee experience!
Attendees say year after year that the number one benefit of attending the conference is networking. This unique lounge area is guaranteed to drive traffic and provides a convenient space for attendees to have one-on-one meetings, to catch up on work or unwind. Includes coffee bar in the mornings and soft drinks in the afternoon on Wednesday and Thursday.
The CSIA Conference will kick-off with a special Welcome Reception where attendees will gather with friends new and old over cocktails. This highly attended event is very customizable based your needs, ensuring maximum recognition.

Conference attendees are invited to attend this special reception and dinner to honor CSIA award recipients. Your logo will be featured on special signage on the lectern during the dinner and on the custom printed menus at each place setting. One opportunity still available.
Internet access will be available to conference attendees. Opportunities for sponsor recognition include featuring your logo on tent cards throughout the event and the option to customize the password – which is printed on every single attendee badge.
All guests at the Sheraton San Diego will receive a custom-branded hotel key card as they check in under the official CSIA hotel block. Sponsor this item and you’ll be “in the pocket” of every conference attendee! Production included.
Meeting-themed lanyards will be distributed to each attendee at registration. Your logo will be featured on the lanyard and is sure to generate great exposure as participants are required to wear name badges throughout the duration of the conference. Production included.
A sure-fire way to ensure each and every attendee gets exposure to your company is by sponsoring registration, because every single person attending the event will need to stop by to pick up their conference materials. Supply a print-ready logo and it will appear on welcome signage sprinkled throughout the registration area. Plus, your logo will also be featured in the online registration portal – ensuring almost every single attendee will see it from beginning to end of their conference experience.
Enhancement idea: Sponsor a refreshing signature mocktail to welcome guests to the event.
Conference attendees will gather during this happy-hour-style reception to share the most recent advances in system integration at the Industry Expo. Your logo will appear on 1 of the 2 bars in the Expo room as well as on cocktail napkins. One still available. Production included.
Enhancement idea: Sponsor can bring in koozies for distribution.
Attendees will access the program, general event information and session details via the mobile app on their smart phones, tablets and desktops. Your customized banner will be integrated into the app branding and is guaranteed to be seen by all users. During the 2024 event, 87% of attendees downloaded the app and 87% said they loved it! Production included.
Sleek, meeting branded notebooks will be distributed to all participants. Your logo will be featured as well. Production included.
Each year, the conference is organized around a central issue essential to the business of system integration. Under the broader topic, educational sessions are grouped into three tracks. Education content is one of the biggest reasons SIs attend. When you sponsor an educational track your logo appears throughout the entire event on signage. Secret menu item: ask about the opportunity to greet guests with a short message prior to the track kickoff session. There are three tracks available for sponsorship.
