The Georgia Association of CVBs is committed to your return on your investment!  The Winter Conference is a once-a-year opportunity to network and present your products/services to the executive-level destination marketing community in Georgia.  Attendance averages 150+ and sponsor/exhibitor tables are limited to 25. Over 95% of previous conference sponsors agree that their participation in the GACVB Winter Meeting gave them opportunities to build relationships that resulted in increased sales. 

To encourage attendees to visit each table, the exhibit area is adjacent to the main meeting area.  Our sponsors and exhibitors are encouraged to take part in the sessions, the luncheons and attend the evening events.  All meal functions are included in your investment.

All sponsorship packages include an exhibit table.  Tables are assigned in sponsorship level order.  Exhibitor tables are assigned based on registration date, so confirm your participation early to get the best spot.  Confirmed sponsors and exhibitors will receive attendee list updates prior to the conference and a final registration contact list after the conference. 

Set up hours are Day 1 from 9:00am until 1:00pm.  The conference begins at 1:30pm.  Please plan to attend the Opening General Session at 1:30pm where all sponsors and exhibitors are recognized for their support. Breakdown may not begin until 10:30am on Day 3 at the conclusion of the morning break.
