CONFERENCE SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
In order to create a rewarding experience for conference attendees, MCN and CIMI encourage support for various official conference services, sessions and events that compliment the educational nature of the conference. Sponsoring companies will be recognized with conference signage, a listing in the Annual Conference Program Book, Spectra, and on the MCN Web site.

Conference activities that are available for sponsorship include: workshops and sessions, keynote speakers, the program book, the grand opening reception, the attendee e-mail center, and conference bags.
