SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES:

2007 Third Coast Festival Conference
November 1-3, 2007
Chicago City Centre and Sports Club

We're happy to announce that the Third Coast Festival is now offering sponsorships for its seventh annual TCF Conference taking place this fall. This gathering provides a great opportunity for radio organizations and audio companies of all sorts to reach out to professionals who are shaping the sound and the future of public broadcasting.

Every year, the TCF Conference attracts more than 325 radio reporters, documentary producers, program editors and sound artists to attend the sell-out event, which is the only national conference dedicated to the art and craft of documentary audio production. People come to the TCF conference not only to gain skills but to initiate collaborations, learn what's happening in public broadcasting, find out about opportunuties at stations, networks, production companies and to swap information about the best technology available. You can stand out in this crowd by sponsoring one of the six meals and/or snack breaks available.



The TCF, in return for your support, will work with you to make your sponsorship as visible as possible, before and during the conference. Last year American Public Media took great advantage of their lunch sponsorship by giving away two complete recording kits. It wowed the entire conference crowd, and left everyone with a great impression of and feeling about the network.

The number of sponsorships is limited to only six, so we recommend you contact us soon for more information about this unique opportunity.
