Imprinted Promotional Items (Padfolios or Pens)
Extend the staying power of your brand by sponsoring takeaways from the conference. Attendees take value in premium items that go home with them, are functional, and remind them of the informative events you have sponsored.

Thousands more will see your message on the shuttles as they move through the city. Your company name will be displayed on all shuttle bus signage.
AFP Program Book Advertisement
The AFP Program Book details all the events, sessions, speakers, exhibitors and much more. These books are distributed inside attendee registration bags. Space is limited; advertising opportunities include the Inside Back Cover, Back Cover and the Back of the Section tabs.

Registration Bag Insert
Reach every attendee as they arrive at registration. AFP will place your advertisement in each attendee registration bag. Items can be a CD of your products/services, marketing brochure (6 pages maximum), or a promotional item not already sponsored by AFP. All items must be approved through AFP.
