The AEO is looking for a main sponsor for the Awards in 2006. Companies supporting the awards can benefit throughout the event by capitalising on a wide range of high impact branding and promotional opportunities. The overall event sponsor package includes sponsorship of 3 awards on the night, 3 x table of guests, plus sponsorship of the drinks reception for the price of £30k + VAT. Other packages are offered. The packages offer an unrivalled opportunity to raise your company profile among the major decision makers across the exhibition industry and the public domain.

Up to 1500 people are expected to attend the awards. Invitations will be sent to all AEO members and key players across the exhibition industry. A leading personality will host the event. For example, if you choose to sponsor an award, your name will apear on video screen during the announcement of the award category. A live camera link will project pictures of the winners on to video screens as the sponsor congratulates them.

This is a new opportunity.

The market served by the AEO and the Excellence Awards is estimated to include 1800 exhibitions held in the UK annually, attracting over 17 million visitors and nearly 270,000 exhibitors. This is a unique opportunity for promoting your products or services to current and future customers. Award sponsors will be directly associated with the very best of the exhibition industry. The emphasis is on commercial excellence, operational efficiency, innovation and best practice.
