Become A Sponsor

Conference sponsorship is an excellent way to maximize your visibility to full or targeted groups of conference attendees. ASTC offers a variety of options to suit every budget and marketing strategy.

Each sponsorship comes with specific opportunities, such as (where applicable) the opportunity to speak with or greet attendees, distribute information or gifts, drink tickets, signage, etc.

  • Many sponsorships include complimentary full conference registrations so you can ensure vital face to face time at the annual conference.
  • Some include discounts on exhibit booths so you can showcase your latest product.
  • You’ll also be able to take advantage of many other valuable benefits. See the sponsor benefits chart for more information.


We welcome your suggestions and ideas on how to make all sponsorship opportunities more effective in meeting your goals. For more information on sponsorship opportunities and other details, click here.
