ICTE Sponsorship

Exposition event sponsorship is an excellent and affordable way to support and gain visibility with the nation's cheese manufacturing industry. The International Cheese Technology Exposition offers two levels of sponsorship.

Level 1: Exposition EXCLUSIVE or PARTNERS' Sponsorship

Sponsorship Level-Assume event costs

This is our flagship sponsor level, in which one or two sponsors assume costs and responsibilities to carry out an event. (The Association can assist in event coordination.) Such events must be open to all Exposition attendees and take place at the Alliant Energy Center at times designated by the Association. This year, eight opportunities are available for exclusive or partners' sponsorship:

  • New! Lanyard Sponsor. The exclusive Lanyard Sponsor will have their company name, logo or URL on the lanyard worn by all event attendees. This Sponsorship opportunity is limited to one qualified applicant and is reserved on a first-come, first-served basis. The sponsoring company is responsible for creating, producing and delivering the lanyard.
  • New! Cyber Café Sponsor. The exclusive Cyber Café Sponsor will offer attendees a place where they can check email, surf the web, and relax. This Sponsorship opportunity is limited to one qualified applicant and is reserved on a first-come, first-served basis. The sponsoring company is responsible for renting and furnishing the space, including supplying all necessary amenities to offer this service.
