2010 Sponsorships
You decide which sponsorship LEVEL and TYPE (Direct Contribution or Specialty) fits your business plan…
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 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 to attendees’ conference experience. These sponsorships offer fewer complimentary registrations but greater marketing impact, sometimes for years after the event.
