AFFI-CON is four days packed with networking, business meetings and education sessions.
Sponsoring at AFFI-CON is part of AFFI’s larger, year-round Membership Marketing Program. It is a great way to build brand awareness and highlight your company at AFFI’s largest event of the year and can also help companies secure VIP meeting space. All requests for business meeting space at AFFI-CON are determined through a priority points system that awards extra points to companies that sponsor with AFFI.
Networking opportunities are abundant with the conference’s large and diverse audience and AFFI will work with you to explain the sponsorship options available and then tailor a package to meet your company’s budgetary and marketing needs.
Sales for 2024 event are OPEN and initial sponsorship item selection will begin in mid-September, so if you are interested in a specific opportunity now is the time to build your sponsorship package. You can contact AFFI’s Senior Director of Marketing and Business Development, Brian Peteritas, at bpeteritas@affi.com or use this link to schedule a meeting with him to discuss sponsorship opportunities for the 2024 event.
