Sponsorship Opportunities

Successful exhibit marketing doesn't begin when the Exhibit Hall opens. Sponsorships provide maximum visibility prior to the show, during the show, as well as after. Promotional pieces are mailed and emailed throughout the year to prospective attendees as well as confirmed attendees.

F&I Sponsorship opportunities sell out fast! The earlier you secure your sponsorship, the more opportunity you have for the added exposure. Don't miss out on the opportunity to improve and reinforce your company's image.

By becoming a sponsor, you will benefit from:

• Increased brand recognition and loyalty
• The ability to stand out and create maximum exposure for your products and services
• The opportunity to improve and reinforce your company's image
• Steady traffic to your exhibit
• Increased sales
• An engaged and committed group of buyers who can become your clients and prospects if they aren't already

We offer customized sponsorship packages!

Back by popular demand are several sponsored lounge areas on the show floor. Once again show management will be working with these sponsors to create energized and exciting specialized 'themed' lounge areas to help you create booth buzz and maximize your selling power during exhibit hours.  Whether you prefer Margaritas, Martinis, fine wine or an ice cold draft beer – we will have it on the show floor. Don't miss the opportunity to 'host' a themed lounge area and network with your peers, generate new relationships, and get your fair share of time with dealer principals, owners, general managers and key F&I professionals.
