Thank You for Your Support of ECMMA

We are pleased to invite you to participate in ECMMA’s 2010 International Convention. This year’s convention will be held at the University of St. Mary in Leavenworth, Kansas, August 5th -8th, 2010. We hope you will be as excited about this opportunity as we are, as we bring together the top names in the field of early childhood music and movement for four wonderful days.

ECMMA is making new strides, as you can see by the quality and quantity of presenters at this year’s event. We are positive that you will want to be part of the excitement.

DISPLAYS AND SHOWCASES

Again this year, we are offering SHOWCASE opportunities for exhibitors. Each showcase presenter may present up to two times with no competing breakout sessions. This schedule will allow many convention participants easy access to your presentation.

PRESENTATION SPONSORSHIPS

If you cannot attend, one special means of participation is through session sponsorship. We have three levels of sponsorship available, including:

All sponsors will have their name and logo printed on the session placard, will receive public thanks during the speaker introduction (25 words or less), and will receive an ad in the convention program.

Thank you for your consideration. If you wish to sponsor a session, then please contact Lorna Singer, Convention Chairperson.

PROGRAM/CONVENTION WEBSITE ADS

Quarter-, half-, and full-page ads are available in the convention program. We show our appreciation by seeing that the copy from each ad receives equivalent positioning in the convention area of the ECMMA website, plus prominent links from our website to yours. This begins at the time of purchase and continues until the end of convention, so sign up early for maximum coverage. Reciprocal linking to our convention site, whenever possible, is expected.

YOUR COST

Exhibit Tables

Select Single, Double, or Shared-table areas (available at a cost of $100 for a table, $200 for two, or $75 for a shared table), plus a donation of one raffle prize (worth at least $50) for each rented table or half-table.

Presentation Sponsorships

Showcases

Showcases (as of June 1st) available at a cost of $200, or $300 for two, 1-hour presentations.

Also, register separately for the special room and board package, affording a special type of congenial, informal interaction among exhibitors and other convention participants that seldom takes place at these types of events. This provides rich opportunity to develop strong personal relationships with leading Early Childhood Music specialists from far and wide. Room charges are “per bed,” and may be arranged through Lorna Singer, Convention Chairperson.

Program AND Website Ads (included this year)

PROGRAM ADS – 1/4-page for $60, 1/2-page (horizontal or vertical) for $100, or full-page for $175. Submit (200 X 200 p) website ad copy when you register, to receive maximum coverage.

BENEFITS

Exhibitors will receive at least 8 hours of dedicated exhibiting sessions outside the workshop schedule, plus one complimentary convention Name-Tag per rented table. Showcase presenters will receive 1-hour presentation slots, with no competing workshops, and two (or fewer) competing showcases during any time slot. Each purchased showcase comes with one additional complimentary convention Name-Tag.
