This sponsorship is really the cornerstone of the entire conference.
It starts when the Online attendee registration opens and the registration process doesn’t end till we close our onsite in-person registration desk at the conference.
Your brand and ad/ad copy will be featured on our online registration page, in registration confirmation emails, onsite at the registration area, on the registration iPad screens and in other related signage.
