Sponsorship

All 2010 AMHCA Conference Sponsors are recognized in promotional materials, on the conference section of the AMHCA Conference Web site and at the event in printed materials, from the podium and on signage. Priority recognition is given to our package sponsors. A sponsor’s package level is determined by totaling all contributions to the conference in the form of exhibit space, conference advertising, cash contributions and individual conference sponsorships.

Conference sponsorships complement and enhance your presence at the AMHCA’s Annual Conference and Exhibits. These sponsorships offer a high impact opportunity for you to raise your visibility with this network of mental health counselors who touch hundreds of thousands of patients, clients, and students each year.

Conference Program Advertising

The on-site program is a highly efficient tool for enhancing your image and raising your visibility with this network of counselors. Your advertising dollars are leveraged as our members and attendees reach thousands of patients, clients and students each year! The conference program is distributed to the over 300 attendees.

Advertising space in the program is an effective and inexpensive way to reach a wide sales market. Because the attendees leaf through the catalog continuously during the conference, the constant exposure to the advertising provides excellent benefits for those companies and/or schools who place ads in the publication. In addition to the convention attendees, circulation continues as the programs are brought home to help highlight the conference proceedings.
