Welcome, Sponsors and Vendors!

About Sponsor Opportunities

This conference is not possible without the generous support of sponsors and vendors. This is the best chance all year to reach purchasing decision-makers, internal trainers and developers, and external training and organizational consultants! The conference draws from big companies like Nike, Providence and Intel to startups and independent firms.

For maximum recognition throughout the conference, sponsorship is the way to go. Sponsors receive:

  • Sponsor signs placed at the site of your supported event.
  • Logos on conference web site linked to your home page.
  • Logos on program acknowledging sponsorship, including 1/4 page ad.
  • One free conference registration for each $1,000 contributed.
  • 25% off an exhibit booth with $1,000 contribution.
  • Free exhibit booth with a $2,500 contribution.
  • One-page fliers or small brochures included in conference packets.
  • Placement of other literature at conference publicity tables.

About Exhibitor Opportunities

Exhibiting at the regional conference ensures you will be in the middle of the action! Because lunch will be held in the exhibit hall, participants will have many opportunities to visit the vendor showcase and see your products and services. Vendors will also be able to receive a printed list of attendees after the program.

Exhibitors will get a basic listing (1-line mention) in the program guide. Fees are as follows:

Booth Fee $700 includes:  A 10' x 10' area separated by pipe and drape, 1 8' table with tablecloth and skirting and 2 chairs.
Power Fee $100 includes:  One (1) 110 volt outlet. Exhibitors are responsible for providing power strips and extension cords.
Internet Fee $150 includes:  One (1) 10-based-T wired internet connection. Exhibitor is responsible for providing adapters, hubs for extra connections, etc.

Note on November 10, 2004:  All exhibit spaces are sold.

Program Guide Advertisements

Finally, both exhibitors and sponsors have the opportunity to advertise in the conference's program guide. This guide features session and conference information -- participants will be referring to it all day. After the conference, attendees will continue using it as a reference.

Advertising is available throughout the book, including the inside front and back covers. Advertising is black-and-white/grayscale only and the ad deadline will be mid-October. Artwork can be prepared in TIFF, EPS, PSD or PDF formats.
