Non financial institution members such as vendors and solution providers are an important part of the BIC ecosystem, and we value the unique perspectives and intellectual capital that they contribute to the process. We also offer very unique sponsorship opportunities for the right partners.
Sponsorship Opportunities with the Bank Innovators Council
With members in 34 states and 29 countries on 6 continents, we provide opportunities for members to pool their resources to develop and test new ideas outside of the day-to-day demands of their existing businesses, and in ways they could not do alone.
We are a member-driven organization– by bankers, for bankers– that maintains a safe, trusted and curated environment for members to discuss and explore opportunities and issues, as well as potential solutions and new approaches.
This diverse and engaged membership base also offers great sponsorship opportunities for the right partners who support our goals and mission:
- Sponsored deep-dive exploratory sessions on particular topics or technology of interest to the members
- Sponsored meals, breaks, Wi-Fi access and the like to defray costs at BIC workshops and events
- Sponsored member perks like purchasing discounts and free trials
- Sponsored envisioning, prototyping, testing or piloting of new ideas and solutions
- Sponsored research

- The chance to make a difference.
