Are There Opportunities to Partner at a MAC Event?

YES!  MAC welcomes and invites organizations to partner at our events and other activities.  The partnership allows MAC to maintain lower registration fees for attendees while still providing premier risk and compliance thought-leading and educational experiences for the payments industry.

A MAC event partnership is distinctive in that 75% of our attendees are management level or higher.  This gives partners a unique opportunity to connect directly with decision-makers in organizations actively seeking to connect with and learn from other industry professionals.  MAC audiences are devoted to increasing their knowledge, learning about new trends in payments, meeting new and exciting vendors, and even fulfilling CE requirements.

This means that MAC event attendees are singularly focused on presentation content.  Partnership packages are designed to allow companies of all sizes to be involved in MAC’s -thought-leading and education-focused mission and connect with our community members. We can help find the sponsorship package that makes sense for you.

To discuss a partnership with us, please send an email to info@macmember.org. 

What if I have additional questions?

If you have any questions or can't access the online submission form, please email us at event@macmember.org

Thank you for considering speaking at a future MAC event.  We look forward to receiving your proposal.
