Here’s why

Generate high-quality leads

In addition to the pre and post conference opt-in attendee list, sponsors and exhibitors will be able to capture opt-in attendee contact information via lead-scanning technology.

Customize your sponsorship 

Let’s work together to create innovative sponsorship opportunities. Prepackaged sponsorship packages are flexible, and Freeman Exhibitor Services can work with your team to reimagine your booth to meet your goals.

Join leading brands

MIC attracts top businesses, financial journalists, and media companies. As a sponsoring or exhibiting firm, you can receive the media attendee list one week in advance of the conference.

Make networking more meaningful

Networking is a top reason guests attended the event. MIC 2025 will feature the Braindate Lounge, a space that facilitated over 413 connections at MIC 2024 and builds real relationships based on common goals.

Engage with industry leaders

Meet investors in the digital space, too. The Morningstar social media team maintains an active presence leading up to, and during, the conference.

Further your impact

We’re implementing changes as part of our commitment to sustainability. As a sponsor or exhibitor, we encourage you to join us in our efforts, as well as support your firm’s sustainability initiatives.
