What is a Sponsorship?
Sponsorship makes it possible to hold down the cost of conference registration so that we can attract more blasters and prospective buyers. Sponsorship opportunities exist for the sole purpose of underwriting the cost of services, events and materials which are necessary for the smooth and successful operation of the conference. Sponsorships also communicate your company’s commitment to the pursuit of excellence and dedication to the industry.
