Co-host golf event:  Sponsors will join WCA in hosting the golf tournament taking place on Sunday, February 15, 2009.  The sponsors’ logos will be prominently displayed on all banners or backdrops and will be verbally acknowledged as benefactors for the golf tournament.

Co–host welcome reception:  Sponsors will be acknowledged as a co-host with their company logos prominently displayed at the welcome cocktail reception on the evening of Sunday, February 15, 2009.

Co-host gala dinner event:  Sponsors will join WCA in hosting the very special gala dinner on the evening of Monday, February 16, 2009.  Sponsors’ logos will be prominently displayed on all banners and backdrops and sponsors will be verbally acknowledged as benefactors of the dinner and its activities.

Fixed One-On-One table: Sponsors can meet with their partners at designated tables inside the One-on-One meeting venue.  Tables will feature table top signs containing the sponsor’s logo and will be located in high profile areas with easier access from the hall entrance or to the sponsor’s exhibition booth (in case the sponsor has one).  The level of visibility and ease of access to your meeting table will be accorded to your level of sponsorship.

Complimentary conference passes:  Sponsors will receive complimentary conference passes (number of passes depending on sponsorship level, see table above).  Each pass is valued up to US$ 795.00 and permits free attendance for one company representative to all general conference sessions, a cocktail reception and a gala dinner.

Please note that each pass is applicable to one conference only, not for the entire conference week. Please see the following for examples of how you can apply your free conference passes:

“Thank you sponsors” page in conference guidebook:  Sponsors’ logos will be included on the “Thank you sponsors” page in the WCA conference guidebooks which will be distributed to all attendees.  Sponsors will have the special privilege of being in this page as well as being listed in the “Sponsors Listing” easel which will be on display during each conference day.

Complimentary advertisement in conference guidebook:  In the event that your company is sponsoring the WCA Conference (15-22 February) only, then your company will receive a full page or a half page advertisement in the WCA Conference guidebook only.  The size of the page will depend on your company’s level of sponsorship.  Companies sponsoring both the WCA Conference (15-18 February) and the WCA Family Conference (19-21 February) will receive one advertisement in the WCA Conference guidebook plus one advertisement in the WCA Family Conference guidebook.  The advertisement size depends on the sponsorship level.  Each guidebook includes a brief profile and contact information of every company attending the conference.  Sponsors must submit all artwork to advertising@wcafamily.com no later than Friday, January 23, 2009.

*   In case your company is both a sponsor and has an exhibition booth, you will only receive one advertisement (the better of the two).  For example, we will only give you one full page color advertisement even though you are both a sponsor and have a booth.

Sponsors’ logos printed on selected giveaway item:  Sponsors’ logos will be prominently printed on the selected giveaway items which will be distributed to all attendees during the conference.  Important :  Some sponsor items for Platinum sponsors may have to be ordered well in advance and we cannot guarantee that a Platinum sponsor’s logo will appear on the selected giveaway item unless we receive the Platinum sponsor’s company logo within 17:00 hrs on Monday, 12th January 2009.

Sponsors’ logos with links on all webpages:  This benefit is only available to Platinum sponsors.  Your logos and links will appear on the home page and all other webpages (with the exception of a few reserved ones) throughout the entire period of the conference and its registration phases (at least 4 months total). 

Sponsor recognition on signage in the Registration area and Meeting Hall :  Signage and banners displayed in the conference area, registration area, and social function areas will include sponsors’ logos.

Sponsor recognition in sponsorship webpage in website:  Sponsors’ logos and links to their websites along with a 25 word description will be included in the dedicated “Conference Sponsors” page of the conference website.

Special acknowledgement during events:  Sponsors will be publicly acknowledged, and thanked by President David Yokeum at each special event held.
