Sponsorship Information

Show your customers, clients, and community that you're ahead of the curve with access to top international energy experts and advisors, up-to-date facts and figures, and "Plan B" smart response and mitigation strategies that translate into competitive advantage for you and better service to your market.

At receptions, lunches, breaks, exhibit space, and other networking opportunities, Conference Sponsors will have unmatched exposure to business, civic, government, and academic leaders of the Peak Oil Energy Era. And with prime access to our ASPO-USA Conference Team, you'll get the help you need to direct the right message to the right target in the most cost-effective way possible.

Sponsors will get multi-media exposure and prominent recognition for their participation in the Sacramento World Oil Conference. Sponsors will receive display space on a large Ballroom Banner, in the Conference Program Packet, on collateral marketing materials, on the ASPO-USA Conference web site, and with special hotel signage at the venue itself.

ASPO-USA is a non-profit, tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization. Conference sponsorship allows us to keep registration fees low and accessible to students, teachers, civic leaders, and NGOs. Sponsorship also supports conference outreach efforts and public education initiatives.

For information on becoming a sponsor, contact our ASPO-USA Conference Team at (413) 684-2403.

General unrestricted contributions are generally preferred, but we understand that some organizations require that a gift be associated with a particular activity or item.  We are flexible and happy to discuss and tailor defined sponsorship opportunities.  For example, a sponsor may choose one of the following opportunities and receive verbal & printed mention in association with the sponsored item rather than one of the labels described above.  Additional sponsor benefits will be commensurate with the size of the contribution and similar to those listed above.
