What's in it for Sponsors and Vendors?
Our vendors, sponsors and presenters will receive the email list of opted-in attendees, their information in the brochure and marketing materials, and lunch. We are estimating around 150+ to come and are actively seeking ways to get on news stations, fliers in community areas, and word of mouth so the attendance might be higher.
Registration is a MUST to get an accurate headcount for lunch and you will be privy to all updates leading up to the event.
-
Sponsors are entitled to be mentioned in the brochure and marketing materials, space on our resources table, and honorable mentions during the event. More info on Sponsorship Levels.
-
Vendors will have a table to display any marketing material/products they wish, listed on our brochure, and lunch. We are limiting it to 20. *pre-screening and approval required.
Standard vendor tables that line the walls and are smaller than what you might be used to. If you wish to have a bigger table, you must rent 2 spaces or consider renting the front of room space. Please view our past event photos as a reference.
We have a few options:
-
Standard vendor table: $150
-
Premium vendor table: $300
-
Sponsor the event (general donation towards the total cost of the event)

Sponsor the AV ($400)
