Sponsorship & Exhibiting Opportunity
A great way to get involved with the conference is through sponsorship! Sponsors of the conference receive many benefits, including the option to exhibit at the conference, exposure to event attendees, promotion through our conference mailing list, formal and informal networking opportunities, and more. Benefits at each level are designed to maximize your reach and impact.
Simply reserve your spot as a sponsor by "purchasing" the ticket for the sponsorship level you desire through this Eventbrite. You will receive an invoice from WV Brownfields Assistance Center with payment instructions and next steps. Contact Haley Paul ([email protected]) for questions.
