November 7th – November 9th, 2012
With Meet and Greet Networking Reception and Registration Check-In on the 6th
Interactive Marketplace Trade Show Date: November 8, 2012

The Annual Multifamily Housing Brainstorming Sessions™ is a three-day event with two concurrent components:  The Main Event (our larger audience of the two, including Multifamily Professionals at all levels) and Executive Brainstorming (our smaller audience of Vice-Presidents through Owners/CEOs). We offer flexible opportunities to reach our audience: simply exhibiting; adding targeted partnerships; or combining sponsorships to achieve Diamond, Platinum, Gold, Silver, or Bronze Level Partnership of either component.

Exhibitor/Partnership Opportunities are detailed in the table below. While partnership benefits vary by design, every single opportunity is also carefully designed to offer key advantages upon which you can capitalize and steal the show! Please keep these guidelines in mind:

  • Your company may simply exhibit in our Interactive Marketplace (Thursday of event week, attended by both components) or increase your reach with partnership(s).
  • Some partnerships reach only the Main Event audience; some only the Executive audience; and some are “crossovers” to both, as detailed in the table below.
  • To achieve Level Partner status, you must elect the minimum value in partnerships specific to that component (Main Event or Executive). Crossovers apply to the component of your choice. (Note: you will receive all the benefits of Level Partnership in ONLY the component that you elect to apply your value toward. You will be considered a Partner, but not a Level Partner, in the other component).
  • Exhibitor/Partner participation in the overall event is restricted by design so we can provide you the largest possible audience of decision-makers for the biggest return on your investment. Exhibitor/Partner representatives (non property management company employees) may participate as:
    • “Exhibitor Only” reps with access to the Interactive Marketplace and related activities only, limited to two individuals per tabletop and four per booth; OR
    • Exhibitor/Partner Attendees, participating fully in the Main Event (open only to those whose company has first contracted to exhibit/partner); or Executive Brainstorming (open only to those whose Level status specifies Executive Brainstorming Registration as an entitlement, and please note that individual partnerships alone, do not.)

Partnership of the Opening Day Main Event

Wednesday, November 7, 2012

This Opportunity Reaches:  Main Event Brainstormers

 $20,000
 		 Of all the available partnership opportunities, this one carries the biggest branding punch. Imagine hundreds of Brainstormers dancing and cheering their way into the Brainstorming area when the doors open for the first time to a room that has been decorated to our theme, and your logo is everywhere. From banners** and/or light projections on the walls to items on the tabletops to audiovisual screens, wherever attendees’ eyes fall, the room screams your presence at Brainstorming! Beyond that initial impact, most of the events of the day revolve around the main focus of our event: Brainstorming, where attendees are seated at round tables, branded with your company’s name, of 7-9 people, led by an expert Facilitator. As the day’s partner, your message is not only right in front of them, but all around as they put their heads together throughout the day, in changing groups, to identify solutions to the specific challenges they’re presented with. In addition to the benefits that all Sponsors receive, unique benefits include:

  • The opportunity to provide logo-imprinted items and/or centerpieces to be placed on the tabletops or logo imprinted tablecloths. These can be giveaways for each attendee to keep, and/or items that would be useful to the Brainstorming process.

  • The opportunity to present a five-minute commercial message about your company with your logo displayed on screen during the message.

Impact Idea: Brainstormers love to find items at the tables to keep their hands busy during the creative process (like stress or koosh balls; fun post-it notes to use in “mind mapping”; and cool pens, colored pencils, markers, and crayons that can be used to record and illustrate ideas – any of which could be imprinted with your logo to add extra impact! Adding logo-imprinted helium balloon bouquets to each table is another great way to add color and impact throughout the room.

Partnership of the Attendee Hotel Keys and Key Folders

Tuesday, November 6 through Friday, November 9, 2012

This Opportunity Reaches:  Both Main Event and Executive Brainstormers

$5,000
 During event week, Brainstormers carry two things with them at all times: a head full of amazing ideas, and their hotel room key. One sure way to make sure your company’s brand is imprinted on their brains is to place it on the custom-printed hotel room key card and the folder in which they’ll receive their keys upon check-in at the hotel! These items will be among the first things they see when they arrive at the event hotel, so your logo will be the very first one they encounter among all of the event’s exhibitors and partners, and will remain in prominent view as they use their keys throughout the week! In addition to the privileges all Partners receive, this specific sponsorship entitles your company to:

  • Your full-color design on the custom hotel keys that will be given upon hotel check-in to all Brainstorming attendees registered at the event hotel.
  • Your full-color design printed on the paper folders in which the keys will be placed when given to each attendee.

* Please note that art must be provided by the partner (design specifications to be provided) prior to our print deadline in order to ensure delivery.
