MVMA Sponsorship Opportunities

Sponsorship opportunities for 2009 are now available. The MVMA holds the largest veterinary convention in the Midwest and is one of the top in the country. A dedicated program committee and MVMA staff continue to bring top quality educational speakers to Minnesota as well as a social venue that draws high attendance. In 2009, the MVMA Annual Meeting will be held in the Twin Cities at the Hilton Minneapolis. Corporate sponsorship is needed to afford the quality of education veterinarians need and desire and they appreciate your commitment to their profession.

The MVMA is committed to giving our corporate sponsors the benefits they deserve for sponsorship. Benefits your company will receive through corporate sponsorship are shown in the chart below as well as other non-tangible benefits include:

The sponsorship opportunities available are shown with estimated sponsorship levels.

Don't wait, these sponsorship opportunities are limited and will be available on a first come basis. Thank You.
