MOVING FROM INSIGHTS TO IMPACT
BE PART OF THE EXCITING STORY AS A SPONSOR OF THE
MRIA 2015 NATIONAL CONFERENCE IN TORONTO!
Join us from May 24–26 2015 as we explore the
insightful world of storytelling and how it impacts
our vital work as market researchers.
MRIA 2015 National Conference:
Storytelling: From Insight to Impact
Canada’s premier marketing research conference, being held in downtown
Toronto this year, will attract decision-makers and marketing research
practitioners from research agencies, field suppliers, and client-side
researcher organizations.
In 2015, our focus is on creating memorable experiences through storytelling.
Learn through workshops, panels, keynotes, a student competition and an
exhibitor hall offering 40 booths. Do not miss out on the only event of its kind
in Canada. We expect sponsorship demand to be brisk, so select your
sponsorship collateral early.
With the various sponsorships available for the 2015 National Conference, your
company has the flexibility to achieve its marketing objectives and stay within
budget. Stand-alone sponsor packages are available from as little as $2,500 up
to $35,000. Each package guarantees you excellent and ongoing recognition
building up to the event (and further recognition after the event).

WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU, AS AN MRIA 2015 NATIONAL CONFERENCE SPONSOR?
The national conference is MRIA's largest annual event, and has been staged
across the country. It unites buyers and sellers in the marketing research
industry for two days of insights, networking, promoting and socialising. This
year we are looking to welcome over 400 delegates in downtown Toronto at
the Marriott Eaton Centre – a great location in a great city.
As a sponsor, your brand will be highlighted before, during and after the
conference. You will have access to delegates, keynotes, speakers and
exhibitors. And we will work closely with you to ensure that your dollars are
invested in the elements of the conference that are most important to your
brand. In the following pages we offer an at-a-glance table of benefits at all
sponsorship levels, as well as a more detailed summary of the value
