2014 ISOA Annual Summit Sponsorship & Exhibitor Prospectus

2014 Monthly Event Sponsorship Prospectus


Executive Summary ISOA is the premier trade association representing companies and non-governmental organizations

focusing on stability and development operations in the U.S. and worldwide, often in remote, austere

and hazardous locations. Member organizations provide support services for the U.S. and other

governments, multilateral organizations, and private companies; and provide support for other entities

working in the stability operations field. ISOA brings companies and non-governmental organizations

from across the “stability spectrum” together to advocate for effective investments in stability, peace,

growth, and the rule of law. ISOA’s core mission is to support the business needs of its members.

Founded in 2001 as standards-based association for companies working in peace and stability

operations worldwide, ISOA has continued to develop and promote U.S., national, and international

compliance regimes throughout the industry and across sectors. ISOA helps its member companies

better understand the regulatory environment and challenges in working in foreign countries;

advocates for its members with the U.S. executive and legislative branches and foreign governments;

and hosts meetings, roundtable discussions, and training sessions for members on topics of critical

importance to ISOA members of all sizes. ISOA’s Annual Summit brings together senior

government and Congressional officials with industry experts, think-tanks, academics, and multi-

lateral organizations for a two-day conference every fall on two-tracks: current and future policy and

strategy issues; and nuts-and-bolts issues facing member companies.

Highlights

Value to Members: In 2014, ISOA will focus on services that support our members’ core

needs: government & regulatory affairs, outreach & partnerships, and business development.

Small and medium sized businesses will find maximum value in ISOA’s services, such as

legal and regulatory guidance and the ability to connect with partners and primes. NGOs will

find assistance in dealing with the evolving international development field. Product

suppliers will find assistance in identifying and meeting business prospects.

Association Growth: From the five founding companies in 2001, ISOA now includes firms

performing construction, engineering, operations and maintenance, logistics, supply chain,

aviation, maintenance, security, expeditionary medical support and service support including

legal, insurance, and a range of supply vendors. In 2014, ISOA will continue to broaden its

membership in line with the evolving stability operations environment.

Operational Excellence: Strong leadership from our President, Ado Machida, and our

Chief Operating Officer, Jessica Mueller, will allow ISOA to continue to focus on providing

maximum value to our member companies in 2014.

coalitions of the willing to take issues to Embassies, the Pentagon, State or the Hill, or working

groups of members trying to solve problems or source supplies. Having personnel serve on

committees and lead working groups ensures that Members have a positive influence on association

space. He founded the International Peace Operations Association in 2001, which

evolved in to ISOA in 2010. Mr. Brooks led ISOA during a decade of unprecedented activity and

from numerous industries and sectors. Under his leadership, ISOA was instrumental in shaping the

Netherlands and Egypt. Past interns have gone on to work in the

industry as Business Development Managers and General Counsels,

and on to posts in government, civil society, and nonprofits. In 2014, the association will recruit and

hire interns who will serve as Program Associates during each of three program periods: winter,

summer and fall. They will focus on special projects offering them an opportunity to learn about the

industry, Congress, and the executive branch while providing energy and creativity for the

Association.

internship program that provides under-graduates from across the U.S. and abroad the opportunity to

study and intern in Washington D.C. and earn college credit.


Our Strategy The Spectrum of Stability

ISOA, our members, our government partners and our stakeholders are in

the process of revising and refining the roles that stability operations and

international development efforts play in the world. Helping re-define

that role and how private industry can support it is the underlying

goal for ISOA’s activities in 2014.

Societies that are both dynamic and stable require a wide range of elements

to function well: decent governance, rule of law, fair avenues to select

political leadership, peace within and with neighbors, and economic

freedoms. Our understanding of “stability operations” encompasses all

activities and instruments employed to support these elements. ISOA’s

members, our government and international organization partners, and our

stakeholders recognize and promote the utility of programs across multiple

sectors, executed by a diverse group of practitioners. As the divergent

implementing community—military and civilians, companies and NGOs,

civil society and the private sector—work toward these goals, the

prevalence and frequency of crises can be mitigated.

ISOA is a network of organizations whose work falls along this spectrum

of stability. Those who protect during conflict, deliver aid in disaster, build

homes during recovery, train police and strengthen governance in the wake

of tragedy – all work toward a common goal to lay the foundations for

development, investment and long term growth.

ISOA Members come from all over the world and include:

Small, medium and large organizations

Manufacturers and product suppliers

Individual consultants and practitioners

Our Growth

ISOA’s long term growth requires building upon our strong core membership who already work

along each point in the stability spectrum. ISOA’s membership growth strategy is based on one

foundational principle: if you or your organization operate in fragile environments, you belong in

ISOA.

Our Value

ISOA continues to be the only association representing the stability sector exclusively – those

companies and organizations whose work lays the foundation for long term stability and growth in

the world’s most unstable places. We serve the implementing community, providing member services

focused on contracting, partnerships, regulatory and legal developments, research initiatives, policy

movement, and whatever else our members deem important. We exist to serve our membership.


Our Partners

ISOA builds partner relationships with other entities in order to enhance our member services. Our

partners provide value to members through event discounts, access to experts and forward leaning

business intelligence.

Conferences & Events

Through media partnerships with relevant events, ISOA is able to secure discounted registration and

exhibit rates to our members. Past partner events include the Marcus Evans Peacekeeping,

Stabilization and Reconstruction Conference and the Aid & International Development Forum.

Business Councils & Chambers of Commerce

ISOA connects members to potential clients and business intelligence pertinent to operating in the

field. ISOA has held co-hosted events with the Afghan-American Chamber of Commerce and has

hosted speakers from the U.S.-Iraq Business Council.

Other Associations

ISOA seeks to build relationships with other associations working in the wider international affairs

field. In 2013, ISOA participated in a multi-association meeting with the U.S. Department of Defense,

which included the National Defense Industry Association and the Aerospace Industries Association.

Think Tanks & Universities

ISOA’s headquarters location in Washington, D.C. area affords us close proximity to globally

recognized universities, think tanks and experts in our field, whom we work with on a regular basis.

ISOA has held events with the Partnership for Effective Peacekeeping, hired talented interns from

universities like Georgetown, and hosted Annual Summit speakers from the Center for Strategic and

International Studies and RAND Corporation.

OUR UNIQUE EXHIBITOR EXPERIENCE The exhibitor area at the Annual Summit is not a trade show floor – it’s better. The intimate setting and small number of exhibitors – only 12 – gives your organization maximum exposure to your audience. All networking breaks are held in the exhibitor areas, including the pre-dinner networking reception. Registration for 2 attendees means that your organization can network and learn, while maintaining a marketing presence throughout the event.
