Sponsorship Opportunities

The OTC Corporate Advantage Program offers exhibitors exceptional Sponsorship Opportunities to help you build a comprehensive marketing program to enhance your company’s OTC experience. We encourage you to review these opportunities and contact your OTC Sales Representative to reserve your sponsorship.

Please note: For opportunities that were sponsored last year, the prior year’s sponsor will have the first opportunity to renew that particular sponsorship. Should that company not re-new their sponsorship, then that sponsorship will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.

All sponsorships will be acknowledged in the Conference Preview, Conference Program, on the OTC website, on the Conference Proceedings Sponsor Page CD, and on slides between technical sessions depending on the receipt date of the signed insertion order.

To participate in one of these opportunities please contact an OTC Sales Representative:

Jim Klingele, +1.972.952.9387 or jklingele@otcnet.org
Joan Payne, +1.972.952.9356 or jpayne@otcnet.org
