Kansas City is host to this year's program, "The Sky's the Limit," and is the perfect place to raise awareness of your products and/or services. Symposium attendees are widely recognized as the floral industry's top trendsetters. This audience is more apt to be searching for new design tips and ideas than their peers. Our research also indicates they are more willing to be looking for products and services that offer their businesses a competitive advantage.
To make a big splash, you need to focus your message. AIFD is offering several dynamic marketing packages -- to do just that by targeting Symposium attendees.
In addition to these dynamic packages, there are also several other sponsorship opportunities. Please see the chart below.
