You are invited to sponsor the annual Partners In Emergency Preparedness Conference to be held April 16 18, 2019 at the Lynnwood Convention Center in Lynnwood, Washington. The exhibit area will open Wednesday morning, April 17 and close Thursday afternoon, April 18. Our 2019 conference is expected to draw over 400 attendees. The conference provides an exceptional forum to showcase your products and services to a highly targeted audience representing the buying power of state and local preparedness, safety, and business continuity personnel. For more details on the goals and audience of the PIEPC, please visit our website at www.piepc.org. The enclosed information packet outlines the variety of sponsor opportunities offered at the 2019 conference. There are several opportunities to highlight your contributions with the inclusion of sponsoring an event and/or food and refreshment offerings, as well as the inclusion of a customizable sponsorship package. Sponsorship opportunities are planned to maximize traffic in the exhibit hall. Consider sponsoring the following: continental breakfast one or both mornings; the Meet the Exhibitors reception on Wednesday evening; morning and/or afternoon breaks. Additionally, we will host a drawing for Sponsor and Exhibitor Door Prizes on Wednesday evening. Companies who donate door prizes receive extra visibility during the prize drawing at the Exhibitor Reception. For companies who want to do even more to increase their exposure at this event, there are a number of sponsorship opportunities still available in a range of levels to fit within your budget and increase your visibility on the PIEPC website, in our printed materials, and throughout the conference venue itself. Additional information on sponsorship opportunities are on the following pages. We look forward to working with you and hope you will choose to participate in the largest and most successful regional emergency management conference in the Pacific Northwest. If you need anything please do not hesitate to contact our Director of Sponsorship, Kelly Kasper at 206-397-4283 or sponsorship@piepc.org. Thank you for your support.
