Fewer sponsors allows for a company to have a more prominent ID, etc. Excessive sponsors increase visual clutter which makes it harder for a sponsor to stand out, ultimately lowering the value of the opportunity. The Chamber therefore limits partner sponsors, to ensure maximum visibility and branding.
