Manufacture Your Sponsorship
Strategy with MMA Events
Manufacturers are driving
Michigan from a state on the brink
to one of incredible economic success.
With thousands of businesses in
communities all across the state,
sponsoring MMA events can
connect you with countless potential
partners. Here are five reasons you
can’t afford to ignore MMA
sponsorship in 2018:

MMA Events are Member-First
Every MMA event is based on
what manufacturers tell us in
surveys, focus groups and daily
conversations. You’ll never have
to second-guess if an MMA
event is worth your time. If it’s
on our calendar, it’s because
our members have said the
content matters to them.
Align Your Sponsorship
with Your Needs
MMA sponsorships aren’t like
your typical event — the
sponsor gets to choose their
level of engagement and how
their sponsorship dollars are
used. From reception and lunch
sponsorships to connecting your
brand with signage or a specific
session, you select what your
event commitment looks like.

Networking, Networking
and More Networking
Few organizations are more
committed to networking time
than MMA. Each major event
has time built in before, during
and after for manufacturers to
connect with their peers and
dedicated pro-manufacturing
businesses like yours. Bonus Sponsorship Perks!
The benefits of MMA sponsorship
can’t be limited to just five things!
When you sponsor with MMA you’ll
be included in the event program
and post-event e-book, mentioned
on social media, displayed on
prominent event signage and walk
away with registrant lists to connect
with those you met.
Share Expertise
In today’s fast-paced world,
people work with the names
they trust and sponsorship
promotes your business as the
expert in your field. If your
experience can make them more
competitive, manufacturers
want to hear from you. MMA events are the talk of the industry
— become a sponsor and your brand
could be what manufacturers are
talking about.
Be Part of Something Bigger
Manufacturing is awesome and
the MMA looks to capture that
enthusiasm with every event.
