Sponsorship Opportunities Now Available for The IABC Heritage Region 2011 Fall Conference

Customizable sponsorship opportunities are available at levels from $500 to $10,000, with appropriate recognition, branding and benefits, which may include signage, and one or more complimentary conference registrations.
The annual IABC Heritage Region Conference typically draws about 200 professional communicators who gather to network, share best practices, learn from the best practitioners and have a little fun. The IABC Heritage Region covers 17 states, plus Washington, D.C., with more than 2,800 members working within the communications field.
 
FAST FACTS:

• This is our 6th year, and we’ve grown attendance in each, despite the economy. Holding the conference in Detroit makes for short, cheap flights or manageable drives, reasonably priced hotel and all-around cost effectiveness.
• Speakers include some of the communication field’s most influential and well-respected speakers from industry-leading companies along with senior IABC leaders.
• We’re starting to approach our deadline for marketing materials – all told, we’ll generate about 50,000 impressions with direct marketing efforts, depending on the level of sponsorship.

Don't miss this opportunity!
