Sponsorship Guide
Partner with South Florida's premier internal audit community.
Reach 600+ members and a mailing list of 5,000 professionals across South Florida. Make your brand part of the conversation shaping audit, risk, technology and governance.
Who we are
The local voice of a global profession.
The IIA Miami Chapter is a non-profit affiliate of The Institute of Internal Auditors — the global authority on internal audit. Our members lead in audit, risk, governance, IT audit, and security across South Florida's most prominent organizations.
Sponsorship places your brand at the center of that network — in rooms with decision-makers who shape how their organizations govern and grow.
The Value We Bring
Strategic value, delivered to every sponsor.
We eliminate the waste common in broad-spectrum sponsorship. Nearly three-quarters of our community holds direct purchasing or management-level decision authority — and 41.8% are C-Suite or VP decision-makers. Partnering with IIA Miami puts your products, services, and team face-to-face with active budget owners across South Florida's most prominent corporate, professional services, healthcare, government, and financial organizations.

The Speakers We Are Looking For
Our FY26/27 portfolio is built on practitioner-led workshops, labs, and tabletop exercises. These are the characteristics that define an ideal speaker for our upcoming events.
Practitioner-led, not lecture-only
Speakers must demonstrate actual tools, workflows, templates, or case materials rather than present conceptual guidance alone. Every session should produce a usable template, checklist, decision, demonstration, or practice exercise.
Complementary expertise, not a single keynote
Each conference combines 3 subject-matter speakers plus a panel or lab team so the full causal chain — risk, control, assurance, and remediation — is covered by people who have lived it.
Current, hands-on experience
Preference for CAEs, IT Audit, SOX/Internal Controls, data governance, model risk, cyber, fraud, and behavioral-risk practitioners who have implemented the topic in the last 24 months.
Facilitation capability
At least one speaker per event must be able to facilitate a hands-on lab, workshop, or tabletop exercise with teams of practitioners and drive them to a defensible decision.
Independence and role clarity
Content must respect Internal Audit independence and role boundaries. Sponsor-affiliated speakers are welcome but sessions must be educational — no product pitches or software demonstrations.
CPE-ready materials
Speakers provide learning objectives, slides, and take-home tools in advance to support CPE documentation, subject to Certification/NASBA validation.

Roughly 73% of attendees are management and C-suite level, drawn from a broad cross-section of private industry, public companies and government entities across South Florida. Attendance ranges from 150 to 350+ per event.
