Primarily geared toward service and component member classifications, the Member-to-Member Sponsorship program was established as part of AEM’s ongoing efforts to strengthen relationships with industry stakeholders and facilitate customer connections for equipment manufacturers. 

The program brings together several digital and event sponsorship opportunities throughout the year, consolidating them into one annual investment. Participating companies benefit from year-round brand recognition, positioning their organization as a committed partner of the industry. 

By funding multiple association initiatives throughout the year, these sponsors support AEM’s commitment to delivering high-quality programs focused on the future of the industry.  

Some of the notable programs supported by Member-to-Member sponsors include:
