Introducing: Sponsor Marketing Specialist Rate We recognize that successful conference engagement requires dedicated marketing support. To help your firm maximize its on-site presence, CSMFO is introducing a new, targeted registration option specifically for your firm’s marketing personnel. This year, CSMFO is trialing a restricted, noneducational pass at a discounted rate of $860. As a trial initiative, availability in future years is not guaranteed and will depend on the program’s success at this event. Why We Are Offering This Rate Many firms want their dedicated marketing and event staff on the ground to manage exhibit setup, handle branding logistics, and capture content, without requiring full conference educational access. This specialty rate offers a cost-effective way to bring your marketing coordinator on-site to handle logistics while your technical experts focus on networking and sessions. Rate & Inclusions Special Rate: $860 (A 20% savings compared to the Commercial Member Full Conference Rate) Exclusive Access: Includes entry to the Exhibit Hall, Conference Meals, and the Wednesday Night Social Event. Session Restrictions: Access is limited to logistics and networking; this pass does not include entry to concurrent or general educational sessions. Eligibility & Rules Firm Requirement: The firm must have an active sponsor at the Skyline, Diamond, or Sapphire level for the 2027 conference. Strict Limit: Maximum of one (1) Marketing Specialist pass per firm. Title Verification: The registrant must hold an official marketing or event-related corporate title. Deadlines: This rate is only available during the Early Bird registration window and will not be offered on-site. Access Limitations: This pass grants access exclusively to the Exhibit Hall and the Wednesday night social event. Should the registrant attend general or concurrent educational sessions, CSMFO reserves the right to upgrade the registration and invoice the firm for the full conference rate.
