Business Partnerships
Business partnerships range from $250 for small businesses to $2,500+ for the Business Preservation Circle. Partners receive member conference and event rates for multiple staff, sponsorship discounts, logo placement and newsletter features, a Preservation Professionals Directory listing, and high-visibility opportunities like event co-hosting and speaking engagements at flagship CPI events.
Join at the Business Premier or Business Preservation Circle level and get a 10% discount off event sponsorship listings and secure priority booth/seating placements.
