Gone are the days when organizations looking for funding could send out mass mailings, offering templated opportunities and a thank you. As the Corporate world continues to further embrace sponsorship philosophy, even philanthropic gestures have begun to take on more of an exploitable feel.
Sponsors are looking for more than logo recognition; they want tailored opportunities to help them reach their business objectives. Spend a half-day session learning how to engage potential sponsors in conversation and provide them with what they both want and need.
