CSCM developed and continues to revise a sponsorship program to meet the marketing and communications objectives of suppliers to the industry. Most events allow only for one sponsor so you would get recognition as the sponsor of that particular event. Follow these easy steps. Review the program-at-a-glance Check out the sponsorship options Select the event(s) or option(s) that best suit your needs and your budget Add up the total value of your sponsorship to determine what additional benefits you are entitled to the more events you sponsor, the more exposure you get! This Prospectus outlines all levels of Sponsorship as well as Conference events and products available to be sponsored. We understand and appreciate that not all of our suppliers are able to contribute financially but may be able to do so in the form of in-kind sponsorship. We are open to discussing all levels and forms of in-kind sponsorship and invite you to discuss your thoughts with the Host Committee Sponsorship Chair or with the Conference Manager. Contact information for these people can be found on page 17 of this document. 5
