Conference Sponsorship
The Board of Executive Protection Professionals (BEPP) is committed to elevating standards within the Executive Security Operations community. Observing a gap in existing industry conferences, the BEPP sought to create a more dynamic and valuable experience for professionals in the field. This aspiration culminated in the establishment of the Executive Security Operations Conference (ESOC), founded and hosted by the BEPP itself.
Unlike conferences primarily driven by profit, the BEPP took a principled and meticulous approach to developing the ESOC. Our primary goal is to provide an unparalleled conference experience for attendees, deliver maximum value to our sponsors.​
About the ESOC
​
The ESOC is a two-day conference where industry leaders, decision-makers, and executive protection professionals convene to participate in insightful educational sessions and cultivate meaningful relationships.
To set the benchmark for Executive Protection Conferences, ESOC prioritizes three key areas:
-
Expertise: We deliver engaging presentations led by renowned experts, addressing current, relevant, and critical issues facing the industry.
-
Networking: Our mixers offer invaluable opportunities for professionals to connect, exchange ideas, and boost their visibility within the field.
-
Tangible Resources: All attendees receive key takeaways, including professionally printed and bound conference materials and our Advance and Logistics Guidebook.​​

Sponsor Visibility
The BEPP achieves double the excellent engagement rates on LinkedIn, directly benefiting our sponsors. By tagging all sponsors in our ESOC social media posts, we provide them with high visibility and direct links to their pages and sites.
Based on November 2024-June 2025
A good email campaign open rate percentage for email marketing can vary quite a bit, but generally, a healthy range is often cited between 17% and 28%. Some more recent data (early 2025) suggests the overall average across industries might be higher, around 21.5% to 42.35%.
