Be a Sponsor!

You are invited to be a conference sponsor at the 2009 Minnesota Age & Disabilities Odyssey

Help us make it happen!

Historically, this event has been one of Minnesota’s largest conferences for those working in the field of aging and disabilities. The Age & Disabilities Odyssey highlights programs and services that support the choices of both older adults and persons with disabilities.

We expect over 1000 conference attendees will be attending from Minnesota and surrounding states, representing counties, major health care systems, universities, service providers for older adults and persons with disabilities, students and volunteers, and family caregivers. Over the three-day conference, participants can select from more than 100 concurrent workshop sessions, open forums, roundtable discussions and poster sessions.

The conference exhibit hall will host over 85 businesses and providers who offer services to older adults and persons with disabilities. In prior years, care providers, health plans, national senior organizations and government agencies have exhibited.

Sponsorship opportunities

This year’s Odyssey welcomes businesses and foundations that want to increase their presence within Minnesota’s nonprofit sector to consider sponsorship. Sponsors enjoy a high profile before and during the conference through logo display at all major conference activities; ads in the conference brochure; company recognition on the Odyssey Web site; exhibit space; and free conference attendance (depending on level of sponsorship); and much more. Sponsorships start at $500. View details of each sponsorship opportunity.
