Sponsorship Opportunities

Planning is well underway for the 2007 AWC Annual Conference, will be held in Tacoma from Tuesday, June 12 to Friday, June 15. This year’s conference theme is “Strong Cities, Strong State”. As in years past, we are anticipating approximately 700 city officials from around the state to attend the Conference.

We are inviting you to become a Conference Sponsor. AWC conference sponsorship is the ultimate way to separate your company from the field and increase your visibility, branding and name recognition. Don’t let your message get lost in the crowd!

Sponsorship of the AWC conference will get your company name out in front of the city delegates before, during and after conference. Companies also have the choice to be a general conference sponsor or choose a specific event.

There are many different levels of conference sponsorship but all levels provide extensive opportunities for exposure.
