Event Sponsorships
P.W. Paws Sponsorship
Everyone loves APWA's adorable 10' tall mascot. Paws is present throughout the Congress to welcome
attendees to sessions, entertain folks on the exhibit floor and make special guest appearances at

prominently displayed on the back of his vest bringing your company tons of visibility and smiles.
Use Paws to drive traffic to your exhibit.
Sponsorship Fee: $1,000 per two-hour session
or $5,000 for an exclusive full day.
Lunch on the Exhibit Floor
We all love to eat—and our goal each day is to keep the attendees on the show floor as much as
possible. Get your name out to the Congress attendees by sponsoring all or part of the lunch coupons.
Your company's name will be listed on each lunch coupon and also recognized with signage near the food
service. Additional branding opportunities exist (napkins, plates, etc.).
Sponsorship Fee: $5,000 per sponsoring company per day

Ice Cream Break on the Exhibit Floor
Everybody loves ice cream. What better way to get your name out in front of the visitors to the
exhibit hall than by providing them with a cool, creamy treat! Attendees enjoyed the ice cream so
much that we're offering this sponsorship opportunity each day the exhibit is open in 2007.

Get your company's name in front of all our Congress attendees as they check their e-mail or have a

Interactive Promotional Stations and Relaxation Station
From virtual sport fishing or golf; to virtual home run derby or auto racing—we can set up a full-service
interactive experience for visitors to the exhibit hall. We can even set up an onsite themed
relaxation station with back, neck, shoulder and foot massages—and your company will get all the credit
for this great experience. This sponsorship is sure to give your company a big boost toward achieving
your marketing goals and objectives at the 2007 Congress and Exposition. Call us for more details on

Continuous Sponsorships
Name Badge Lanyards - SOLD - Thank You Hanson Pipe & Precast, Inc.

company name and logo.

Tote Bags - SOLD - Thank You TYMCO!
We all need a place to put our stuff as we walk around the exhibit floor. Make a lasting impression
with Congress attendees by sponsoring the Congress Tote Bags. We'll print your company's name and logo
on one side of the tote bag and the Congress logo “The Best Show in Public Works” on the other. Because
many attendees keep these as mementos after the show, this sponsorship opportunity not only gives your
company high visibility during the show—it also provides valuable long-term exposure for your company
after the show.
Sponsorship Fee: $15,000 exclusive sponsorship;
or $5,000 for each co-sponsoring company
Additional Exposure Opportunities
Distinguish yourself amongst the crowd—show off! Take advantage of these high-visibility,
high-impact promotional opportunities to maximize your investment!
Advance Registration List
One of the best ways to ensure a successful show is to pre-sell your company, your products and your
most attractive show offers to attendees even before they arrive at Congress. You can accomplish this
by sending a pre-show mailing to all those key industry professionals who have registered in advance.
Look for the order form in your Exhibitor Service Kit.
Preferred Customer Passes
Build your booth traffic utilizing the FREE Preferred Customer Passes offered by APWA. These
complimentary passes to the exhibit hall fit nicely into a #10 envelope and are yours to distribute to
your valued customers. Preferred Customer Passes have proven to be an extremely useful, cost-effective
tool for increasing booth traffic. Check your Exhibitor Services Kit for details on how you can order
your complimentary passes.
Onsite Program and Show Guide Advertising
Promote your company where it counts by advertising in the Congress Program and Show Guide—the
information most frequently referred to by Congress attendees. This program contains the complete
information on all the Congress and Exposition activities. Referred to over and over again onsite for
education session information, booth numbers and special show information, this guide is also kept by
Congress attendees for future reference.
