The following information depicts the offered opportunities sponsors have in conjunction with their sponsorship dollars. All benefits will be coordinated through the AAA National Office including signage, complimentary registrations, table displays, advertising, event sponsorships, acknowledgments, publicity, and website promotion. Your support will bring your company high-profile recognition and exposure to hundreds of professionals in the field of accounting administration and to CPA firms throughout the United States and Canada. AAA Conference participants are instrumental in the decision-making processes within their respective firms. Your company’s participation will allow the Association to offer a first-rate conference at a reasonable cost. The program’s focus is on the skills necessary to meet the rapid changes and challenges which the profession is facing. Your company can assist not only by providing financial sponsorship but also by encouraging Conference attendance.
Where else can you be exposed to more than 300 CPA firm administrators, partners and owners in one location? AAA members and Conference attendees are professionals who manage accounting practices. These are the individuals responsible for decisions regarding firm insurance, software, policies, human resource management, facility management, technology, consultants, training, marketing and more.
AAA has developed a sponsorship package designed to accommodate all industry suppliers. You need not send a representative or “man” display space, but the option is there to send a representative. Your company will receive national publicity and exposure, with the level of participation you desire:
The sponsors of our various food/social functions will be given the opportunity to promote their products and/or services during a one to two minute “infomercial” (with the exception of 1/2 refreshment break sponsorships) during the sponsored event as well as through Conference publicity, display space (not available to 1/2 break sponsors), a website presence and recognition in conference program materials. If sponsoring companies are unable to send representatives, AAA will accept pre-submitted “infomercials” and will proudly display the sponsoring company’s materials.
Featured session sponsors will reap the benefit of a one to two minute “infomercial” as well as signage, representation in the form of display space, handouts for session tables, and a website presence. AAA invests a large portion of the event’s budget on speakers and their expenses. Featured session sponsors allow us to continue to bring the latest information to attendees with some of the nation’s top experts.
Cyber Cafe and Audio-Visual sponsors will benefit with pre-event promotion, signage throughout the Conference, representation in the form of display space, a website presence and recognition in the conference program materials. AAA invests a significant portion of the event’s budget on audio-visual equipment and enhancements. Sponsors allow us to continue to use the latest in technology to assist in the learning process.
Sponsors of name badges, attendee gifts, conference proceedings and registration materials will reap the benefit of having their corporate name/logo imprinted on the items, distributed to all full registrants. Gifts will be determined by the Association and will include sponsor’s name and logo attached in some manner, depending on the gift. Sponsors for these items will benefit with a one minute “infomercial” incorporated into the program (delivered by the Conference’s Master or Mistress of Ceremony) as well as signage, representation in the form of display space, a website presence and recognition in conference program materials.
In order to commit to a sponsorship, contact the AAA National Office at (937) 222-0030;
fax (937) 222-5794 or aaainfo@cpaadmin.org.
Sponsorships will be confirmed on a first come, first serve basis.
All sponsors will be invoiced.
