You are sponsoring the Sunday Welcome Social at the17th Street Marketplace where attendees will gather to catch up with colleagues as we kick off the 2026 conference! As our event sponsor, you may add your branding to this location as well with swag, signage, and a table to help us welcome attendees to Richmond.

Then, on Monday morning 7-9 am, think of yourselves as our welcoming committee! As attendees visit the Registration area, your team can greet them with "Good morning" and have the opportunity to put your choice of marketing material in their hands. 

This package includes a standard booth, with an upgrade to a premium booth available. You will also be recognized as a sponsor on our website, in the app, and in conference marketing, and you will receive access to the attendee mailing list. Email vrps@vaparks.org to learn more.
