Sponsoring HippoCamp puts your brand in front of thousands of folks before and after the conference, and during the three-day event, you’ll have the opportunity to connect, in person, with writers interested in creative nonfiction.
SPONSORSHIP OVERVIEW
Hippocampus Magazine is offering varying levels of sponsorship, from presenting sponsor to exhibitor to coffee break sponsor.
Vendor tables are located in the high-traffic hallway, and our 15-minute breaks between sessions, as well as snack breaks, mean lots of dedicated time for networking throughout the day. The opening reception is held in the midst of exhibit tables, too.
SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
All sponsorship opportunities include exhibit space, conference registration(s), and added-value promotion before, during, and after the conference. Note that conference promotion begins in early February 2019, so the earlier you sign up, the more mileage you’ll get! All added-value opportunities are from date of signing and forward.
