Exhibiting sponsorship levels range from Platinum (limited to one agency and one clinic) to Gold, Silver, and Bronze. Non-exhibiting options are typically available for Silver and Bronze as well (for sponsors who do not require an exhibit table or wish to sponsor without attending). Sponsorship fees and benefits for 2021's two-day comprehensive conferences are exactly the same as the previous year, and the fees for the one-day regional conferences are 30%-50% lower. Sponsorship fees and benefits can be viewed in the sponsorship options documents, below. These levels are especially suitable for clinics, surrogacy and/or egg donation agencies, and law firms.

• 2021 Two-Day Comprehensive Conference Sponsorship Options
• 2021 One-Day Regional Conference Sponsorship Options

Providers of complementary / third party services (escrow management, pharmacies, insurance providers, cord blood preservation, etc.) are also invited to participate and/or sponsor. We offer a range of promotional and underwriting options, some reserved exclusively for 3rd party service providers (see page 2 of the above documents). To take advantage of these options, a provider needs to sign up for at-least a “Non-exhibiting Bronze” sponsorship. 

OUTREACH BENEFITS:

MHB’s Provider Directory only includes service providers that are either conference sponsors (current or next year) or those who participate in GPAP. 2021 sponsors will remain on the directory until December 31, 2021, unless they sign up for a 2022 conference or renew their GPAP pledge. 

Providers that meet at least one of the following conditions are eligible to be included at MHB's Rating Tables (assuming they have enough reviews): 

• Exhibit in at least one of our conferences at the Bronze level or above AND offer pro bono services as part of GPAP. 
• Exhibit in at least one of our conferences at the Gold level or above. 
• Exhibit in at least two of our conferences at Bronze or above. 

Anyone signing up for 2021 conferences will be immediately eligible to be added to the tables. 2021 sponsors will remain on the rating tables until December 31, 2021, unless they sign up for 2022 as well.

You may qualify for up to a 30% GPAP discount off sponsorship fees for offering pro bono services by participating in our Gay Parenting Assistance Program (GPAP).
