About Self-Insurance

Self-Insurance (also referred to as self-funding) is an alternative risk transfer strategy used by tens of thousands of employers across the country to finance their group health plans and workers' compensation programs, where expenses are paid as they are incurred as opposed to paying a fixed premium to a traditional insurance company. Captive insurance is a form of self-insurance.

Branding/Marketing Opportunities

SIIA has a limited number of spaces for companies to exhibit their products and services to conference attendees. If you’re looking to increase company and product awareness, develop sales leads and new customers, and make immediate sales, then exhibiting at this event is a must! The Conference also offers a wide range of sponsorship packages designed to fit any budget. Becoming a sponsor is a cost-effective and targeted tool that can help your company accomplish its marketing and sales goals and position you as an industry leader to attendees.

According to the Center for Exhibition Industry Research (CEIR):

For every dollar spent on marketing your business at a trade show, the return is $3.56.
It takes just 1.4 personal calls to close a sale with an exhibition lead compared with 3.6 personal sales calls without the show lead.
Closing a sale using an exhibition lead costs an average of $625 compared with the average $1,117 cost to close a sale otherwise.
Exhibiting reaches unknown prospects. 88% of exhibition attendees have not been called on by a salesperson in the past year.
And, the sales continue even after the show closes because 64% of attendees share information with 4+ people upon returning to the office.
