Our Partners make a huge difference to SPIN.
They're truly family to all of us, and we treat them like one of the gang. Our sponsors constantly tell us that we're the only group that makes them feel seen and not shunned. Valued and equal. If you're considering joining, reach out to any of them for feedback. Our sponsorships are year-round, and include many marketing opportunities, along with SPINCon - our annual conference.
Please email info@spinplanners.com if you want to apply to join the SPIN family.
