2008 Corporate Sponsorship Opportunities

S.E.E. offers an effective approach to building your brand recognition. The S.E.E. Annual Conference attracts executives and decision makers from leading American utilities. In addition, key industry partners attend each year. The corporate sponsorship program allows S.E.E. to offer all attendees an exceptional conference experience, with enoyable treats, helpful services and useful take-aways. Through corporate sponsorship, you can increase your organization’s exposure, communicate directly to your target market, develop new sales leads and keep your name in front of existing customers. See our list of member utilities.

For more information on how your company can be showcased, contact Amy Bekele at amy@theexchange.org or 404-233-1188.

2008 Sponsorships

You decide which sponsorship LEVEL and TYPE (Direct Contribution or Specialty) fits your business plan…

Diamond $10,000

When you choose a sponsorship level and pay the corresponding amount, this is called “Direct Contribution” sponsorship and receives the highest number of complimentary registrations (see item #5 below). Direct Contribution sponsorship is ideal for companies who want to send several company representatives to the conference as well as get the added credit and recognition of being a Sponsor. There are also upper-level “Specialty“ sponsorships that increase your brand visibility through highly usable imprinted products or services that lend an unexpected extra —or lagniappe, as they say in New Orleans— to attendees’ conference experience. These sponsorships offer fewer complimentary registrations but greater marketing impact, sometimes for years after the event.

Platinum $8,000

Gold $6,000

Silver $3,000

Bronze $2,000


All "Direct Contribution" and "Specialty" sponsors receive...

1. Sponsor's full-color digital logo displayed on SEE conference website according to contribution-level. Logo will be hyperlinked to Sponsor's website. Logo will be uploaded upon receipt of payment and will remain as long as the conference website is active (minimum 6 months).

2. Corporate logo displayed in the full-color Conference Program (a 44-page booklet/agenda distributed on-site to all conference attendees). Logos displayed according to level of contribution.

3. Corporate logo on full-color 7-ft standing sign/banner to be displayed in a high-traffic area throughout the conference. Sponsors listed according to level.

4. A namebadge ribbon to quickly identify Sponsor's attending representative(s). Ribbon denotes level of sponsorship in gold/silver foil or color text and will easily attach to namebadge.

5. Complimentary conference registrations (value: $525 each). "Direct Contribution"sponsors receive (1) one complimentary registration for every $1000 of sponsorship. Example: bronze level = 2 comps; diamond level = 10 comps. Specialty Sponsorships receive comps as noted in their respective sponsorship description.

6. Special thanks during General Session. PowerPoint slides will display Sponsor's name, logo and level/type sponsorship to an audience of 500+ people. Diamond and Platinum or Specialty Sponsors highlighted in individual slides (1 slide per sponsorship). Gold, Silver and Bronze sponsors will be grouped together on a slide of each respective level.

Additional perk for Diamond and Platinum sponsors only...

Free Marquis Ad - S.E.E. will provide one PowerPoint slide per sponsorship to be displayed on LCD signage outside Tradeshow Ballroom and near SEE registration desk. Slide will be included in rotation with other purchased ads to run continuously throughout conference hours on Wednesday and Thursday during non-exclusive periods.

How To Become A Sponsor...
1. Sponsorship must be confirmed in writing to S.E.E. Fill out attached SPONSORSHIP AGREEMENT FORM, indicating your desired level/item of sponsorship. Return agreement to S.E.E. immediately via email to amy@theexchange.org or via fax 404-239-0610. Amy will confirm receipt of the agreement.

2. S.E.E. will issue an invoice for the appropriate amount to the attention of the contact named on the Sponsorship Agreement. Invoice must be paid in full to S.E.E. within 30 days of invoice date to guarantee receipt of and “redeem” all forms of recognition as noted in Sponsorship Kit.

3. Failure to forward payment as specified above nullifies sponsorship.

4. S.E.E. will accept Sponsorship Agreements at any time prior to the conference; however, it should be understood that certain forms of printed recognition are date sensitive.
