Fourth Annual High Five ConferenceRaleigh, North CarolinaHosted by AMA TriangleHighFiveConference.com

WHY HIGH FIVE?High Five brings together marketers, creatives, entrepreneurs, anddreamers for an action-packed three days of inspiration, learning and fun.Unlike many events, we won’t tell you High Five is for everyone. The bestpartners seek to achieve the following results from their partnership:

• Demonstration of B2B technology solutions among marketing and creative professionals in North Carolina and beyond. Past B2B partners includeMicrosoft, Oracle Marketing Cloud, and inMotionNow.

• Recruiting the brightest marketing and creative talent in the Triangle for job opportunities. Past recruiters include Windsor Circle, ChannelAdvisor,PrecisionLender, CRISP, and Healthgrades.

• Exposure of their creative products and capabilities to marketingdecision makers. Past showcase partners include Brand Fuel,Theo Davis Printing, Zig Zibit, and Three Post.

And at High Five, we’re transparent. We’ve had partners choose to not return, because of budget or fit. Partners who aren’t a good fit might be looking for: • Direct sales to consumer or business audiences. • Exposure for specialized products with niche audiences. • On-site product sales.

Now in its fourth year, many of our High Five partners choose toreturn annually, benefiting from the unique opportunities theconference provides. Sound like a good fit for you? Let’s dive in.
