We welcome your sponsorship, regardless of whether you are able to
exhibit in the trade show. The sponsorship amount is in addition to the
registration fee for an exhibit booth, and there are several levels of
sponsorship to fit each organization's budget. Would your organization
consider giving $500, $750, $1000, $1200, $1500, $2000, $2500 or more in
sponsorship? You can designate your contribution to be used for a
specific function or expense, such as helping to cover the costs of a
particular continental breakfast, morning or afternoon refreshment
break, luncheon, or perhaps Tuesday's welcome reception. Instead of the
meals, you could designate your sponsorship to help cover the expenses
of bringing in guest speakers and instructors or as a scholarship for
students to attend the conference. Besides contributing to the success
of the conference, below are other benefits of your sponsorship.
