Program Advertising Rates and Specifications
The program, distributed to every attendee, acts as the essential guide through the industry’s biggest events of the year, making it a prime spot for advertising. With the program referenced frequently during the event and kept by 85% of delegates afterward, your advertisement will gain prolonged exposure, continuing to make impressions well beyond the event’s conclusion.
