Becoming a Sponsor

The CIAA corporate sponsor retention rate is a phenomenal 93 percent over the past 20 years. Corporate partners have enabled the CIAA Conference to secure $12.03 million in scholarship money for the member institutions and an additional $23 million for other championships and television.

Meanwhile, our sponsors benefit from the increased exposure:

  • Banners/Billboards and signage throughout Charlotte
  • Booths at the Ford Fan Experience
  • National and local media exposure
  • Presence in Charlotte Bobcats’ Arena
  • Logo use on all CIAA printed materials and website
  • Tickets to CIAA events
  • Publicity generated from CIAA Mobile Marketing Tour
  • Announcements at CIAA Mobile Marketing Tour Stops
