2006 Sponsorship Opportunities

Don’t forget that sponsorship opportunities abound, including give aways with your company’s logo and advertising in on-site convention materials such as the convention program. Sponsorship is a great way to increase your exposure at the Annual Convention.

By becoming a NAMB 2006 sponsor, your company will receive formal recognition of your commitment to the industry via:

• Recognition of the sponsorship in our Advance Registration Program and On-Site Program
• Monthly recognition in NAMB’s publication of Mortgage Broker Magazine
• Recognition at General Sessions
• Included in the list of sponsors in convention advertising
• NAMB web site
• Signage at the event featuring the company’s name and logo

Don’t forget—any exhibitor that also sponsors will get preferential booth assignment (if made prior to deadline—see Assignment of Space)!

Please note that the previous sponsor of a 2005 event has right-of-first-refusal to sponsor this same item/event in 2006. Any sponsorship events not committed to by November 18, 2005 will be made available to all parties. Any Exhibitor that wishes to obtain its own give away must submit the item in writing for approval to NAMB by June 16, 2006.

Exhibitors may not provide a give away item on their own that is listed as an official NAMB sponsorship opportunity. As sponsorship opportunities are sold they will be posted on the NAMB web site www.namb.org.

Please note any giveaway/prize drawing deemed to be “too similar” to an offered paid/sponsored item, (for example a Vespa as opposed a “NAMB Motor Scooter” or offering the “chance to win a car later this year” instead of a paying to sponsor a “NAMB Car Give Away”) at the NAMB 2006 Convention is prohibited.

NAMB is happy to accommodate any other sponsorship requests. We can design a specific package based on your budget and visibility needs. Please contact Jason Hawthorne Petty at jpetty@namb.org with any questions or proposals.
