What is our Business Partner Program anyway?
We all know that design and construction is a team sport and great projects are the result of exceptional collaboration among the members of the project team. Here at AIA Wisconsin, we believe that is also true of the associations that represent those professions as well. We invite your company to be a part of a new program that we are offering to increase collaboration and goodwill between our disciplines.
AIA Wisconsin has hosted a statewide conference since 1931, and you are probably aware of the robust exhibit hall that we host. For years, the booth on the exhibit floor was the vehicle that was used to engage architects with contractors and suppliers, but we realize that the world has changed in the past century. We are much more interactive and creative in our communications than ever before but still believe that face-to-face contact is the best way to form and foster relationships with our peers.
To that end, we have created the Business Partner Program to allow contractors, consultants, and suppliers of less traditional means the opportunity to engage with our membership. We offer this program to companies that would like to participate in our conference and other events but don’t have a need for a booth or want to engage in other more innovative ways. The program is an annual membership to show support for AIA Wisconsin and the architects that you work with, as well as an opportunity to meet potential new partners and develop relationships with the future leadership of the profession.
What’s in it for you?
Our membership is growing (over 1,600!) and with your Trade Ally status for a $1,500 annual fee, you will have exclusive access to our members through the “Business Partner Marketplace” on our private AIA Wisconsin Member Portal. This platform is a place to engage with members on topics, provide information on your company and post inquiries.
In addition, you will receive one Conference Registration for our upcoming annual conference, a business listing on the Marketplace, and one State Allied Membership which gives you member pricing to all AIA Wisconsin sponsored events—many of which are free for members. This gives you the face time with architects that you need to form relationships that will build your business.
