AGA can also customize a sponsorship just for you! Please contact Ada Phillips at aphillips@agacgfm.org or at 800.AGA.7211, ext. 310.

The sponsoring company agrees to pay the published sponsorship fee once the application has been submitted and accepted by AGA. Invoices will be generated and sent to the principal contact by e-mail. Payment is requested within 30 days. Outstanding balances must be paid in full prior to signing up for future conference activities.

Sponsorships may not be cancelled. Upon signing the agreement, there are costs incurred on behalf of the sponsor and the full, published amount must be paid. In the event that the sponsorship can be resold and the promotional material corrected before the conference, 50 percent of the sponsorship fee may be refunded.

Any written notification of intent to sponsor an event or item will be considered a definite commitment. In the event that AGA denies a sponsorship opportunity to an interested party, based on a written confirmation/guarantee by your organization to sponsor an event/item, the sponsorship may not be cancelled and the full payment must be paid.

Upon acceptance of your application, the principal contact named at the top of the form will receive an e-mail confirming your sponsorship. All correspondence regarding conference logistics will be sent to the principal contact.
