The Houston Chapter of the Institute of Internal Auditors has a long history of providing quality continuing professional education to its members. That tradition continues with our ninth Annual Conference to be held Monday, April 9, 2018, again at the NRG Center.

We expect our 2018 Annual Conference to again be at full capacity with over 1,200 participants. The Conference program will include three general sessions and various concurrent sessions covering topics related to technical tips and techniques, fraud awareness, information technology, leadership enhancement, and hot topics. This event provides 8 CPE hours and includes a welcome breakfast, luncheon, morning and afternoon networking breaks, and a post‐Conference networking reception.

NRG Center’s spacious exhibitor area is positioned with open access to the attendees as they transition between Conference sessions and the designated areas for breakfast, breaks and the post-Conference networking reception. Sponsors will interact with members of the second largest IIA Chapter in the country – consisting of 2,600+ internal auditors from over 110 organizations.

We have had about 30 sponsors at the Annual Conference in recent years. We invite your organization to participate as a 2018 Annual Conference sponsor for this marquee event in Houston. This Sponsor and Exhibitor Guide provides information on sponsorship levels and the related benefits, as well as important information about the exhibit booths and related materials handling. As a sponsor, you will have a booth with direct visibility to the Conference participants. Exhibitors will be provided scanning technology to electronically capture participant contact information.

The Platinum Plus sponsorship level offers priority booth selection and the greatest exposure by your firm. Opportunities are available to be the Platinum Plus sponsor of the registration, luncheon, breaks, networking reception, Conference app, back cover of the Conference program, volunteer shirt, or photo booth.

By sponsoring early, you will maximize your exposure in our pre‐Conference promotion activities. Remember that booth assignment priority and logo posting on the Conference website is based on date of payment receipt by sponsorship level. Please refer to the sponsor and exhibitor checklist for key actions and due dates to assist with your Conference planning.

We look forward to partnering with you to make this event a great success for all involved!
