Sponsorship Opportunities

APS offers many sponsorship opportunities that allow you to extend your reach beyond the Exhibit Hall and create a lasting impact on attendees. All sponsorships will be publicized throughout APS marketing promotions, including convention inserts in our monthly magazine, Observer; promotional e-mails sent to APS Members; and in both the online and printed program books.

All sponsorships may be exclusively or jointly sponsored. If you have an idea for sponsorship that is not listed here, please contact us at exhibit@psychologicalscience.org. We will be happy to arrange sponsorships that are tailored to your preferences.

Convention Tote Bags

The best way to make a lasting impression on convention attendees! All attendees receive a tote bag when they pick up their meeting materials at the registration desk, and the bags are the most popular memento of the convention. Your organization's logo and name will be on prominent display throughout the convention, and it will remind attendees of your participation long after the convention ends.
Cost: Approx. $10,000

Cyber Cafe

Your logo at the Cyber Cafe computer kiosks is sure to be remembered by convention attendees. The popular cafe is an essential tool that attendees use to stay connected to e-mail and browse the online convention program. Signs around the computers will remind attendees that you are helping them stay in touch, and that you support this important convention. Additionally, the screen saver will display your logo between users.
Cost: $1,000 per computer kiosk
(APS plans to have at least four computers for attendee use).

Receptions

Offering food and drink is one of the best ways to generate good will and make sure attendees remember you! Receptions can be provided for all attendees in the Exhibit Hall, or private receptions for select groups of our attendees can be held in rooms at the Sheraton Chicago Hotel & Towers. Receptions can celebrate a new product or service, or honor one of your esteemed authors or contributors.

The following are some of the APS receptions available for sponsorship:

Opening Night Reception - Located Inside the Exhibit Hall!
The Opening Night Reception is always one of the best-attended events in the convention. The reception starts immediately after the Keynote Address and features hors d'oeuvres and refreshments in the Exhibit Hall. This reception provides a great opportunity to interact one-on-one with attendees.

Anniversary Celebration Reception
This reception, to take place on Friday evening May 24, will commemorate the activities and achievements of APS throughout the past 20 years. It will follow the Presidential Symposium and provide a great way for companies and organizations to show their continued support to APS and the field of psychological science.

Saturday Night Reception
This reception offers the chance to connect with an undivided, attentive audience on Saturday night, following the Bring the Family Address.

Snack Breaks
Sponsoring a lunch or snack break in the Exhibit Hall is a terrific way to make a big impact with attendees. Snack breaks draw many people into the exhibit hall and allow you to interact with them to promote your products and services. (Special booth placement near food and beverage stations can be provided to sponsors).
Cost: To be determined by sponsor.

Coffee Breaks
When you sponsor a coffee break, you're involved in the informal networking that is an integral part of our scientific convention. When you provide a chance for relaxation and renewal during the busy program, you receive the gratitude of our participants. During your sponsored coffee break, your organization's name will be prominently displayed at all coffee stations.
Cost: $2,500 per coffee break.
