TEI sponsors can “make their mark” and place themselves in front of TEI members in multiple ways. Opportunities include speaking at conferences, seminars, and courses, partnering on webinars, providing content for TEI’s Thought Leadership Bulletin, and writing articles for and advertising in TEI’s professional journal, Tax Executive. TEI sponsors are also featured in TEI’s Chapter | Sponsor Connection Portal, an online forum that connects sponsors to chapter and regional leaders responsible for designing local events.
Sponsorship with TEI is a holistic and strategic year-long partnership between our organizations. Together, we will focus on understanding your firm’s practice goals and assist with making connections at events that are beneficial to you and our members throughout the global TEI organization. We offer four levels of sponsorship: Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Bronze, as well as an ala carte option to sponsor TEI’s Tax Technology Seminar. We have structured our program to connect you, in an impactful way, with our members throughout the year, leveraging multiple touchpoints and TEI platforms.

How We Develop Educational Programming
TEI’s educational programming comes from three primary sources:
- Our member committees' suggestions;
- Our team of tax attorneys who lead the above committees, as well as TEI’s advocacy efforts; and
- Responses to our RFPs.
From these three sources we create technical panel discussions staffed by leading practitioners and moderated by a TEI member charged with ensuring the sessions will resonate with an in-house audience. We rarely choose sessions exactly as they are proposed and frequently receive multiple RFP responses suggesting the same or similar topics. Thus, it should not come as a surprise if you are asked to participate in a panel that differs from those you proposed. It is nevertheless important to submit RFP responses because they inform us of the topics Sponsors would like to present to TEI’s membership and the specific practitioners who would like to participate.
We deeply value our Sponsors’ support and invest significant time and effort developing event programs that allow sponsoring firms to meaningfully participate in our events. When practitioners from multiple Sponsors wish to speak on the same or similar topics, our program planning team considers several factors, including, among other things, whether a practitioner possesses unique experience or insights, their personal speaking and communication skills, and input from our members. Sponsoring firms receive priority based on levels of sponsorship and past involvement in TEI events. It’s important to remember, however, that speaking opportunities are not included in the Sponsorship Agreement and are never guaranteed. TEI gives priority to the topics our members suggest, and we do our best to deliver programming that in-house tax professionals find timely, compelling and worth their time/travel, while also balancing the goals of our Sponsor firms.
