DISTINGUISHED PARTNER PROGRAM
ICMA's Distinguished Partner Program is a way for members who make a significant investment in the association to gain greater visibility in the global card industry.
The Choice is Yours
Mix and match our advertising opportunities and combine them with our exhibit and sponsorship opportunities at the ICMA EXPO and CardTREX. Remember, if the total combined investment adds up to the Diamond ($25,000), Platinum ($15,000) or Gold ($10,000) levels listed, you will receive exceptional added visibility in ICMA throughout the year at the level for which you qualify!
Distinguished Partner levels can be achieved at any time during the year. However, the earlier your company signs up for these marketing opportunities, the more you can take advantage of the expanded company visibility.
Review our opportunities and contact our operating director, Donna Latham to discuss the available opportunities. Visibility levels can be achieved at any time during the year and do not need to be confirmed at the beginning of the year. The earlier your company signs up for these marketing opportunities, the more you can take advantage of the expanded company visibility through ICMA.
