Benefits of Sponsorships/Exhibitors
Sponsors: Conference sponsors receive substantial visibility and one-on-one time with conference participants. Sponsorship will allow you to reinforce your company’s name and message as a leader in your field and the best resource for participants’ needs. Sponsors are also automatically given an exhibitor package if they choose to have one.
There are a variety of sponsorship levels. We will work with you to design a sponsorship package that is high impact and drives ROI.
Exhibitors: Snack/drink breaks will take place in the exhibitor area, and the exhibitor area is centrally located, so traffic is frequently driven toward your booth. Participants are encouraged to visit all exhibitor booths as part of a door prize competition at which conference attendees who visit every booth are entered in a drawing for various prizes. Participation in the vendor showcase is an additional benefit.
Getting involved as a sponsor and/or
exhibitor allows you to:
- Showcase
your company’s services and solutions.
- Network
with decision-makers and industry experts.
- Receive
feedback from seasoned practitioners.
- Learn best practices and address challenges.
