Sponsorship Opportunities

Why sponsor an event at the 35th Annual Airports Conference? Sponsoring an event gives you access to nearly 700 airport owners and managers, government officials, consultants, and engineers. If this is your selected audience, there is no better concentration assembled for two days. No matter if your goal is to improve awareness of your company, service, or products, or to promote your corporate image, the conference will satisfy all your goals.

If you become a sponsor of one of our events at the Annual Airports Conference on April 2–4, 2012, in Hershey, you can create brand awareness within the airports industry, or reinforce your brand's position within the industry. You will have the opportunity to share your products and services with these leaders, gain preferential access to the senior executives in your target market, meet decision-makers face-to-face to leverage your product and brand building, and establish strong relationships with potential customers. Being a supporter comes with a complimentary registration (gold and silver) to the conference, direct access to all participants, recognition on our website, recognition on-site, and more.
