WCOWMA-BC is hosting their annual Trade Show and Convention in a Virtual Platform this year.

A Virtual Trade Show will be made available to anyone wishing to participate. We are calling on our

vendor suppliers to help sponsor this annual event.

What are some of the things we will be doing to drive engagement?

Aggregated swag boxes: WCOWMA-BC will build swag boxes for attendees to pick up before the event

from our exhibitor’s places of business. This will help to drive in-person conversations and contacts

with our exhibitor sponsors.

Reach out to the attendees: With a virtual event, you can easily collect data on individual attendees,

better target your audience, and personalize your sponsorship message — take advantage of the

opportunity.

Social media callouts/sponsorships: This is a carryover from live events. Twitter, Facebook, and other

social media channels are seeing spikes in activity, before and during virtual events. WCOWMA-BC

will be thanking and acknowledging our exhibitor sponsors over social media while promoting the

event. During the event, and if a sponsor also doubles as a speaker, we will share their quotes to

position them as thought leaders.

Giveaways: This is an old-school play, but it can help create suspense and build excitement during the

event. Your door prize will be blended into our programming. Draw winners to your booth ‘live’ and

invite them to say a few words online.

Commercials: Fill the transition period between speakers and sessions to showcase your products or ser-

vices. Commercials are a great way to break things up and create interest. Do a quick product demo,

or simply have your logo rotate on a carousel.

Sponsor visibility: WCOWMA-BC will ensure you have maximum visibility by including sponsor logos on transition slides, backgrounds and on the livestream.

Sponsor a Virtual AMA (Ask Me Anything): Sponsor the daily Ask Me Anything Session and act as the moderator to the session. Your logo will be front and center as the sponsor for one or more of these daily sessions.

Customizable CTA buttons: Customizable buttons will be available for attendees to “Request a Follow-Up” or “Schedule a Meeting” with a sponsor.

Gold Sponsorship Perks: Sponsor icon: A Web Link feature will be created that links to your website or special landing page. Icons are customizable, so we will upload your company logo for maximum exposure. Sponsored wall posts: These in-app wall posts offer a more organic way to showcase your company and products/services since they are mixed in with posts from attendees. We will create a new account with your company name, and you can post!

Sponsored Images: With images throughout the event this is a great spot to be creative and showcase your company! Gold sponsors will also have their logo incorporated into the splash screen. This is a great option for premium visibility as every attendee sees the splash screen when they open the app.

Silver and Gold Sponsorship Perks: Banners: Scrolling banner ads will be viewable on the home page. Attendees will see them whenever they use the app, and the banner ad link can lead back to your website. Sponsors will have visibility into the number of attendees that visited their site via an auto-populated lead gen form.

A Smart Feed banner can pull profiles from the “Sponsors” section into the banners, making it easier than ever to highlight your company. When users click the Smart Feed banner, they will go to your company profile in the app.

Gamification sponsorship: Remember the analog passports that attendees would have sponsors stamp to win prizes? We have recreated these and made them more fun. Sponsor a game and the game’s name can include “sponsored by ‘sponsor,’”. Game sponsor can choose to provide a prize. After completing the game challenge, attendees receive a code and enter it into the app to claim their points. The highest point earner wins the prize! Get creative and think big. Sponsored challenges can include answering trivia questions, completing online scavenger hunts, or visiting a sponsor’s website. This is a fun way to generate leads and encourage attendees to interact with and learn more about you and your company. Different sponsorship tiers will be assigned different numbers of points to be earned while playing the games.

Bronze, Silver, and Gold Sponsorship Perks:

In-app sponsor page: By clicking an icon on the home page attendees will be able to view the full sponsor list. Using the Sponsors/Exhibitors section, companies can customize any information they want to include on their profile. Use photos and descriptions to bring your profile to life! Logos, descriptions, contact information and more can be included. Add an external link to your website, or even a special landing page to capture leads. Sponsor demo sessions: Give live product demos — just like the QVC home shopping network. Attendees can tune in at any point during the event and interact face-to-face with vendors. To keep the excitement going all day, promote hourly giveaways. Titles: Sessions that are not individually sponsored will include a “Brought to you by” heading with the sponsor logos shown on a splash screen. List of all attendees: All sponsors will receive a spreadsheet with a complete list of event attendees along with their contact information.

Additional Sponsorship Opportunities: Session sponsors: Boost brand awareness by adding your branding to individual sessions. It can be some-thing fun, like a game for example, or more straightforward like a keynote, educational presentation, or panel discussion. $500.00
