Cross-Sector Reach

BDIE uniquely brings together entrepreneurs, corporate leaders, creatives, investors, and policymakers. As a partner, you’re positioned at the intersection where culture and commerce meet.

Year-Round Engagement

With BDI365, sponsor activations extend into a 365-day digital property—delivering data, visibility, and ongoing touchpoints with the community.

Partnership Pathways

  • Secure a high-profile presence at our flagship convening, where leaders, founders, investors, and creatives gather to shape the future. From keynote stages to curated networking experiences, Summit sponsorship puts your brand at the center of ideas and action.

  • Extend visibility throughout the year by spotlighting your brand in quarterly gatherings and thematic deep dives. These smaller, focused convenings allow you to align with sectors shaping the economy—technology, energy, design, workforce development, and more.
