  • Verbal acknowledgment during the reception, when applicable
Sponsor the Awards Lunch, where the NCPERS Champions Awards, recognizing pension fund members for their commitment to ongoing education, and the NCPERS Pension Partners of the Year Awards, honoring service provider members for advancing continuing education and industry best practices, are presented. Your company will receive recognition during the program, with your name and logo displayed at the event.
Position your company as a valued supporter by sponsoring one of the networking breaks in the exhibit hall. Attendees will enjoy coffee, tea, assorted sodas, and sweet or savory snacks while connecting with colleagues—making your brand part of this engaging experience.

Deadline to Sponsor is April 23.

Reach attendees instantly with one branded push notification sent through the official conference mobile app. Your message can promote your exhibit booth, invite attendees to a reception or demonstration, highlight a special offer, or share another timely announcement.
