Sponsorship is very reasonable and gives you a year long relationship with the attendees. They are very loyal to the promoters and organizers so your sponsorship will be seen as an endorsement by use. For that reason not just anyone may sponsor.
To be considered you must provide a product or service which is useful and valuable to a small business or independent contractor. Web developers/social media service providers generally are not considered, MLM/network marketing opportunities are not permitted.
Three types of sponsorship are available:

Event Details
The event opens at 8AM for registration. Vendors will need to have their bag stuffers on site by then. Each bag will be delivered to the attendees and speakers as the arrive and register.
The event begins precisely at 8:25 AM with or without all attendees present. There is a 5 minute introduction by the event promoter then goes right in to presentations.
Presentations are strictly held at 35 minutes each and the second one is over the next one begins. Speakers introduce themselves as a part of their allotted presentation time and are not permitted to sell during the presentation although they may, during their introduction say what they do, where they work and how to contact them.
Only the title and lunch sponsors will be able to address the full assembly. The title sponsor will speak at the end of the day right before the sports bags and polos are distributed. The title sponsor will have exactly 10 minutes to make a presentation.
The venue is the Mansour Center. We are in a combined room which holds 168 people in a classroom setting. We expect the event to be sold to capacity by July 31 when the Sort of Early Bird ($84) special ends. The Early Bird ($69) will be offered through June 30.
The Mansour Center is easy to get to from most parts of northwest Georgia and Atlanta. It is located near the intersection of Cobb Parkway (US41) and Roswell Road (GA120) in Marietta, Georgia. It is a very nice facility with plenty of parking and an open lobby.
