Sponsorship Opportunities Overview Thank you for taking the time to review the following package. Over the course of many years, the International Live Events Association (ILEA) has presented many successful education conferences on the local, regional and international levels. Without the generous support of both cash and in-kind goods and services from many of our members worldwide, it would be virtually impossible for these programs to exist. ILEA Live 2018 will bring together hundreds of creative event professionals from around the world for three days of high level education, imaginative thought and legendary networking, all held in a truly inspiring location Denver, Colorado. The International Live Events Association is the principal association for the global creative events professional. By showcasing your organization as outlined in the following pages, you will have access to an eager audience ready to view what you do best. In purchasing products and/or contracting for outside services, more than 80 percent of ILEA Live conference attendees have sole purchasing authority or are key decision makers regarding business purchases. Your company can select from a menu of showcasing opportunities that meet your marketing needs and offer increased exposure at our conference. If you wish to take advantage of this prime marketing opportunity or have questions or ideas that will fit the format of ILEA Live, please contact one of us below as we would all be happy to create magic! We look forward to seeing you in Denver! Tera Greenwood ILEA Live 2018 Conference Chair JC York ILEA Live 2018 Sponsorship Chair
