Each year, the districts of the Business Technology Association host educational and networking events that are well received by both dealer attendees and exhibitors. These are not convention-center events in cavernous exhibit halls, but they are smaller, hotel-based events where all dealer attendees have plenty of opportunities to interact with one another and with exhibitors. The base-level sponsorship for each event is $4,000 and includes attendance for two people; additional registrants will be $199 each. Additionally, each event will provide upgrade opportunities for those wanting to secure special sponsorship opportunities such as sponsorship of a cocktail reception, breakfast, lunch, breaks, an evening at the ballpark or another special networking event. These exclusive upgrades include five minutes to present on stage to the attendees.

Testimonials
Here a few comments from attendees of BTA's 2023 events:
- Spring Break, hosted by BTA Southeast: "I've participated in this event [Spring Break] for many, many years and I will say, this year was quite inspiring. I really enjoyed the speakers; the education was great, the storytelling was great. And even for a guy like me who has 31 years in the business, I’m motivated to go home and get my team riled up." — Bob Heffelfinger, Advanced Office Systems Inc., Johnstown, Pennsylvania
- Capture the Magic, hosted by BTA West: "The entire event [Capture the Magic] was extremely valuable. The venue is obviously beautiful here in Aurora [Colorado]. It’s been a great opportunity to exchange ideas with peers and other folks in the industry. There was a great keynote speaker who really gave me a lot of ideas on helping me run our business. With the dealer panels, you’re getting real-world stuff. I thought it was absolutely excellent." — Jim George, Donnellon McCarthy Enterprises, Cincinnati, Ohio
- 2023 BTA National Conference, hosted by BTA East & BTA Mid-America: "I thought this [the 2023 BTA National Conference] was amazing. I’ve been to many dealer meetings and some other BTA events and, by far, this was a home run. I was able to talk to people I probably wouldn’t have talked to in the past. It was fantastic. You guys did a really good job and I really appreciate the fact that you put this together." — Randy Rezek, Town Business Systems, Norwood, Massachusetts
- Fall Colors Retreat, hosted by BTA Southeast: "This [the Fall Colors Retreat] was my first BTA meeting; we're a brand-new member. I was looking to dig in and find out what I could do differently at my dealership ... [I liked] the fact that the vendors are participating during the entire meeting and they’re not tucked off in some other space — we're all connected, we're all interacting ... Learning and getting to know some of the guys at other dealerships that are in similar positions as I am [was great] ... The vibe that I'm getting is that everybody is very helpful and very interested in helping one another succeed." — John Pecnik, Dowling Douglas Co., Jacksonville, Florida
