Sponsor the Lakes & Rivers Convention

Sponsoring the Wisconsin Lakes & Rivers Convention is a great way to support the event that keeps lakes & rivers people coming back year after year while increasing your company’s name recognition. Sponsor funds pay for special events like the Wednesday night welcome reception and Thursday night’s awards banquet, as well help underwrite Wisconsin Lakes’ involvement in the event. And new this year, sponsor one of the breakout session rooms!

Benefits of Exhibiting

In addition to exhibiting in the convention hall, attendees will easily be able to find your business’s contact information in our Business Guide. With your table registration, you’ll be asked to submit contact info, a 150-word description of your business, and a logo for the Guide. New for 2020, the Guide will be incorporated into the Convention Agenda book, adding to the visibility of your brand. Also new this year, after the Convention your business listing will appear on a special page right here on wisconsinlakes.org!
