AHTD sponsorship packages are open to multiple companies.


Table Talker Print Piece

Any member company supporting the association with the AHTD Meeting Sponsor package will be represented on an eye-catching table-tent print piece strategically placed in front of conference attendees at the sponsored conference (Spring or Fall Meeting). Exclusive to this sponsorship level, this print piece will feature the sponsoring companies’ full-color print logo, sized equivalently with the other Meeting Sponsors, and will be placed on every table in the General Session Room.

Member Minute Video

The Member Minute Video is another exclusive item newly offered to members taking advantage of the AHTD Meeting Sponsor package. The organization(s) selecting this sponsorship level will be encouraged to create, record, and submit a one (1) minute video about their company (or product or service), ahead of the sponsored conference (Spring or Fall Meeting). The video will be AHTD-reviewed and approved before being played one time for membership on a date and at a time to be determined by AHTD. Each Meeting Sponsor company will take care of all elements of this video production and will provide the finished video according to the specifications detailed in the "Presentation Video Production Guidelines" document.

LinkedIn Profile Piece

AHTD will highlight the AHTD Meeting Sponsor member organizations with a profile piece on LinkedIn*. Using the company’s logo and marketing material found on the member’s website, AHTD will compose, publish, and share online each AHTD Meeting Sponsor’s spotlight feature in the lead-up to the sponsored conference (Spring or Fall Meeting).

Group LinkedIn Post

Sponsoring companies at all levels can be proud they are contributing to the success of our association meetings, and AHTD will proudly mention all sponsoring member companies in a variety of pre-conference LinkedIn posts in the lead-up to the sponsored conference (Spring or Fall Meeting).
