Event Sponsorship

Are you looking for an opportunity to promote your firm, in a unique way, to benefit brokers?  

Canadian Group Insurance Brokers (CGIB) has a sponsorship opportunity that may be of interest to you, your firm, and/or the providers you deal with. 

We've has been running educational events for almost fifteen years.  Our seminars routinely hit 150 registrants in Toronto ( and up to 300+ in the past) and 50 to 100 in Vancouver and Calgary.  Our workshops are interactive and geared for 40 to 60 to be in attendance.

Our goal is to be the “go-to” event for benefit advisors coast to coast.  The past events have been extremely well received, with most sponsoring year after year.  This is your opportunity to also get your firm out front!

The target audience for these events are those  that specialize in employee benefits. The meetings encourage open discussions and are VERY interactive. Attendees want to be there and are interested in the information being conveyed.  As such, it presents you with a very affordable opportunity to promote your firm, that requires very little manpower on your part.
