Plans are well under way for AGA’s 57th Annual Professional Development Conference & Exposition, taking place July 27–30, 2008 in Atlanta, GA. PDC 2008 will be bigger and better than ever! We invite you to join us as an exhibitor, sponsor or advertiser to take advantage of this outstanding marketing opportunity. Advertise and maximize your visibility. This is an opportunity to showcase your company’s message in the program that will be used throughout the week and taken back to offices around the country. To advertise, contact April Pardoe. Exhibiting puts your products and services in front of the people who need them most! The PDC is the perfect place to network with existing clients and new prospects, while enhancing corporate identification to a highly qualified decision-making audience. More than 1,700 high-level, hard-to-reach government financial management and accountability professionals will attend this year’s conference. We combine all the right elements to attract attendees to the Exhibit Hall and move them toward your booth. Sponsorship gives you the opportunity to increase your exposure beyond your exhibit space. The PDC provides you with prime opportunities to network with existing clients and bring your name to the attention of leading government executives and decision-makers. Our sponsor benefits enhance and strengthen your name recognition and bring you closer to the people you want to reach. To participate as an exhibitor or sponsor, contact Ada Phillips at 703.684.6931.
