Thank you for your interest in sponsoring the 29th Annual Risk Management Conference. The Chicago Board Options Exchange appreciates your support and believes that the conference offers a unique opportunity for your firm.
As a sponsor, your firm will be closely associated with a conference that has proven each year to be one of the most highly regarded events in the industry. Over the last 11 years, the conference has averaged slightly less than 300 institutional investment professionals. These professionals come from institutions such as foundations and endowments, pension plans, corporations, commercial banks, hedge funds, insurance companies and mutual funds. Sponsorship will give your firm the opportunity to showcase its active participation in and support of this key sector of the financial community.
The CBOE aims to ensure high visibility, quality and recognition for your firm throughout the conference so we will continue our long standing practice of limiting the number of sponsors.
Following are some of the sponsorship opportunities that are currently available for your consideration. Certain sponsorship opportunities are ‘sold’ quickly and are awarded on a first come-first served basis. When you have decided on a particular sponsorship please fill out the “Sponsorship Application and Agreement” form and email, mail or fax the signed agreement to:
