Customer Connections Conference Sponsorship Opportunities

The only way to secure a spot in the Sponsor Showcase is through sponsorship.

You will enjoy dedicated time with public power leaders as noted below, but you’re welcome to schedule individual appointments or engage drop-in visitors outside of these hours. Additionally, you can attend conference sessions and events, so you can learn about the industry and network with attendees during non-showcase hours. 

This is a table-top show. All items must fit on your table. A 6' table, two chairs, and a waste basket will be provided.

To secure your sponsorship: 

1. Select your sponsorship package from the options below.

2. Purchase your sponsorship package. You should receive a confirmation email with all the details you need for the event within 24 hours of purchasing. If you don't receive this email, please check your spam folder, or contact [email protected]. 

3. If your package includes a spot in the sponsor showcase, please view the floorplan and put your desired spot on hold for APPA approval.

4. Email your logo in these three formats to [email protected]: 

• 300 dpi RGB JPEG
• High-resolution (1200 dpi) .eps CMYK vector
• High-resolution RGB transparent PNG 

5. Use these whitelisting instructions to ensure that you receive important sponsor emails.
