Annual Conference Notepad Sponsor

A high quality notepad that can carry your logo in colour and strapline, together with the Socitm event logo. Still considered essential by most delegates, on their laps throughout the conference and taken back to the office to be used up, this is an excellent way to get your logo in front of them. For the annual conference this item is usually A4 format.  Also includes the same sponsor benefits of  Entry Level Sponsorship. 

Socitm2009 Notepad sponsor:   Civica

Annual Conference Pen Sponsor

Each delegate is provided with an attractive but highly functional pen so that they can make notes during the conference.  But these pens - and with them your logo - live on long after the conference. Also includes the same sponsor benefits of Entry Level Sponsorship.

Annual Conference Delegate Bag Sponsor

An indispensable conference item, delegate bags will be overprinted with your logo and the Socitm event logo (single colour only).  The bags have a generous capacity, enough for a laptop and all the other conference paraphernalia, plus useful pockets and adjustable strap.  We know that delegates use their conference bags for years after the events, ensuring your logo stays in people's view for the maximum time. Also includes the same sponsor benefits of Entry Level Sponsorship.

Annual Conference Delegate Folder Sponsor

A high-quality A4 folder which includes a notepad and pen (which are also sponsored items).  Printed in a single colour with your logo and the Socitm event logo, these are included in each delegate's bag and often kept as a ready-reference guide after they get back to the office, so your sponsorship goes on working long after the event. Also includes the same sponsor benefits of Entry Level Sponsorship.

Annual Conference Golf Umbrella Sponsor

For that bracing walk along the 'prom' and the unpredictability of the English weather, what could be a more useful souvenir of the conference than a high-quality branded golfing umbrella?  A long-lasting and useful item to make sure your brand stays around for years.  Usually in black or white plus a colour, we can select a scheme to show off your logo effectively, together with the Socitm event logo. Also includes the same sponsor benefits of Entry Level Sponsorship.

Annual Conference Event Signage Sponsor

With such a lot going on at the conference, there's no substitute for good signage, and your logo will feature on a wide of Socitm signs and location plans posted around the venue. Also includes the same sponsor benefits of Entry Level Sponsorship.
