The 2017 IABC Canada Western Region Dare to Lead conference in Vancouver (May 27-28, 2017) has a limited number of sponsorship opportunities available to boost your company profile among more than 60 of Western Canada’s most influential communicators. Sponsorship and support can be as little or as much as you decide. There are a number of sponsorship packages to choose from and we appreciate your support and generosity.
Why sponsor?
The Dare to Lead Conference is attended by IABC Board Members from six chapters in the four western provinces. These members are influencers and decision makers who lead purchases in a wide variety of products and services – strategic communications planning, public relations, advertising, graphic design, printing, audio visual, event planning, website development, digital and social media, and many others.
IABC Board Members work for the largest public and private corporations, small businesses and non-profit organizations in the industrial, health care, financial services, government, education, consumer products and technology sectors. These are leaders who execute strategic internal and external communication plans for corporations, governments, nonprofits, educational institutions and consulting firms across Western Canada.
