Can I commit to sponsorship now but pay closer to the event?
Your payment is your commitment. Your benefits will be activated when we receive payment.
How will my logo be placed?
Whenever all sponsor logos are displayed together, they will be arranged from left to right and top to bottom within the PLATINUM, GOLD and SILVER groups in order the date that payment was received (earliest first).
I’ve got a great idea for a sponsorship opportunity that you haven’t listed. What can I do?
The organizers of the conference love new ideas. Contact us at sponsors@agilemidwest.org and we’ll explain other a la carte sponsorship opportunities (i.e. table tents, lunch, registration, banner). We will work with you to make it happen where possible.
What about the event logistics and key fulfillment dates?
After you sign up to sponsor, you will be contacted via e-mail for ongoing communication, which includes comprehensive logistics information to help ensure a successful event.
I don’t need all my Sponsor free passes. Can I give them away?
Certainly! All badges provide access to the conference. You may give them to friends or customers.
When and where do I need to drop off Sponsor inserts for the bags?
You can drop off inserts on Tuesday September 24 or Wednesday September 25 before 3pm.
How do I ship my booth material and/or inserts for the conference?
Please complete the shipping form you should have received with your packet of sponsorship materials. If you need a new form, contact us at sponsors@agilemidwest.org.
Can I leave things at my booth overnight?
The exhibit area is NOT secure. It is mostly private and receives little traffic, but it would be wise to slide things under your table and to remove expensive equipment. The conference does not provide any lockable storage.
When can I setup my booth?
You can setup your booth any time on Tuesday or Wednesday. Please note that the majority of the attendance will be on the day of the Conference (Thursday).
How many people can I bring to work the booth?
PLATINUM and GOLD sponsors can have as many booth sitters they want. We will ask for a list of names so we can ensure we have enough food.
Are there any restrictions on booths? What’s included?
Exhibiting sponsors will receive a 6’ rectangle table, 2 chairs, a power strip, free WiFi . To ensure safety of all of our attendees, your exhibit must fit into your designated booth space and tall popup banners need to be on the floor, and not placed on the table. No part of an exhibit and no signs or other materials may be pasted, nailed, or otherwise affixed to walls, doors, or other surfaces in a way that mars or defaces the premises or equipment and furnishings. Damage from failure to observe this notice is payable by the sponsor.
Where will my booth be?
Sponsors will be able to make booth selections based on their Sponsorship level and the date we receive payment. We will send out final booth location the evening before you need to be there.
