SPONSORSHIPS & ADVERTISING

The Aim Ideas Summit is prime time to meet and engage with municipal officials. Your company can kick your networking and brand development up a notch with a menu of potential sponsorship and advertising opportunities available for the event. While there are some crowd favorites on the menu, there are also several new and creative possibilities for you to consider. Supporting the 2024 Aim Ideas Summit will not only help your organization build and maintain relationships with Hoosier municipal officials, it will support their efforts to obtain vital continuing education.

Take a look at the sponsorship and advertising opportunities and reach out to Lesley Mosier at lmosier@aimindiana.org to confirm your selections. As noted on the form, all sponsorships and advertising opportunities are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Priority will be given to members in good standing. Further, several items have fast approaching deadlines. Act fast to ensure your preferred items are still available!

EXHIBIT HALL

The Aim Ideas Summit will be held in-person October 8-10 at the Grand Wayne Convention Center in Fort Wayne! The exhibit hall will be open on Tuesday and Wednesday to allow plenty of time to connect with conference attendees. Booth space is available on a first-come, first served basis until the show sells out. All reservations must be made online. Online booth registration begins at 2:00 p.m. Eastern on August 15. 

Please note: Attendee registration is not included in the booth purchase. All exhibitors must register for the full conference (discounted exhibitor rate available). Online registration began August 15 at 9:00 a.m.

The exhibit hall for the 2024 Aim Ideas Summit is officially sold out, and we are thrilled by the overwhelming interest! If you’d like to be placed on the waitlist, please email Lesley Mosier at lmosier@aimindiana.org as soon as possible.

If you are a corporate non-member of Aim, you will need to contact the office at (317) 237-6200 to inquire about the upcoming Aim Ideas Summit.
