Regional Executive Assistants' Cocktail Hour

Exclusive Benefits of Hosting a REACH Event

 

When you host a REACH event, you’re not just providing a space—you’re gaining a powerful platform to engage with high-value professionals who drive purchasing decisions for some of Chicago’s most influential businesses. As a host, you will:

​

• Showcase Your Space & Services – Offer an immersive experience that highlights your venue’s ambiance, service excellence, and catering capabilities to a curated audience of decision-makers who actively seek venues and vendors.

• Engage Directly with Corporate Influencers – Executive Assistants and Personal Assistants are often the first point of contact for sourcing event spaces, hospitality services, and vendor partnerships. By engaging them directly, you gain an invaluable competitive edge.

• Expand Your Professional Network – Connect with a diverse group of professionals across industries, including finance, law, healthcare, and tech, all of whom play a role in corporate procurement and vendor selection.

• Increase Your Brand Visibility – Your business will be featured in REACH’s event promotions, newsletters, and website, ensuring exposure to our entire membership base, even beyond event attendees.

• Gain Preferred Vendor Status – Hosts and sponsors receive priority placement in our members-only directory of Preferred Venues, Vendors, and Partners, a trusted resource actively used by Assistants when making recommendations to their executives.

• Access Exclusive Business Opportunities – Our members regularly refer vendors and service providers within their professional networks, giving you unparalleled word-of-mouth marketing among Chicago’s top businesses.​

Beyond Hosting: Elevate Your Partnership with REACH

 

We encourage our hosts to maximize their partnership with REACH by offering value-added experiences that leave a lasting impression. Consider enhancing your involvement by:

​

• Offering Private Venue Tours – Provide small group walkthroughs to showcase the unique features of your event space.

• Providing REACH-Exclusive Discounts – Extend special rates or incentive packages to our members to encourage ongoing partnerships.

• Engaging Attendees with a Raffle Prize – Collect business cards and generate leads by offering a special giveaway or exclusive experience at your event.

• Featuring Live Client Testimonials – Invite a satisfied corporate client to share their positive experience working with your venue or service, reinforcing credibility and trust.

• Curating a Unique Experience – Consider live chef demonstrations, behind-the-scenes tours, interactive mixology sessions, or other engaging experiences that highlight what makes your brand exceptional.

Your Partnership Extends Beyond a Single Event

 

REACH maintains an exclusive internal database of venues and vendors who have previously hosted or sponsored our events. Our members actively reference this list when sourcing business partnerships, and they contribute ratings based on key factors such as professionalism, service quality, affordability, aesthetics, and ease of partnership. This means that your involvement with REACH continues to generate business long after the event has ended.

Let’s Build Something Meaningful Together

 

Partnering with REACH isn’t just about sponsorship—it’s about forming lasting relationships with the professionals who influence executive-level decisions every day. If you’re interested in hosting an event, becoming a sponsor, or exploring customized partnership opportunities, we’d love to collaborate.
