Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, associations have struggled to develop and maintain effective sponsorship programs - not just at their annual meetings - but year-round. The challenges have continued to pile up as associations have been unable to host in-person conferences, adjust to the newness of virtual event planning and execution, and the uncertainty of attendance numbers.
Times may be changing, but your current and prospective sponsors' needs have not. Many businesses and industry suppliers rely on their relationships with associations as an effective and efficient marketing and sales strategy.
Thoughtful and creative packages that deliver value for sponsors and corporate partners will help associations generate revenue and remain resilient despite changes in the market and environment - such as the uncertainty of exactly when we'll be able to meet in large groups safely again.
Join Map Dynamics' Alexis Simoneau, CAE and special guest Bruce Rosenthal of Bruce Rosenthal Associates to dive deeper on the topic of Sponsors in the Spotlight. As an added bonus for this session, we've invited our friend Ginger Johnson to facilitate new connections among the attendees in the audience and help bring home the takeaways from the conversation.
Join us for this engaging discussion Tuesday, January 12th at 11:00 am ET.
Not able to tune in live? That's ok! You can still register and we'll follow up with takeaways and a link to recording afterwards.
Best of all? It's free to attend!
