Parking

Parking is available onsite at Skamania Lodge. Overflow parking will be available at the Columbia Gorge Interpretive Center. All-day shuttles will also be provided to and from Skamania Lodge to help address parking needs. 

Sponsor Meals

All meals are included for the number of attendees you have paid for in your sponsorship, and include breakfast, lunch and dinner. Sponsors are encouraged to attend all meals during the conference. 

Conference Theme

This year’s theme is Rock IT, with a focus on music. Think rock bands, hair metal, and concerts. We encourage sponsors to embrace the theme when considering their booth setup and design! 

Lead Capture

ACPE will print QR codes on all attendee badges. The QR codes will have information such as the attendee’s name, title, and school district. Any app that reads QR codes and allows you to save the information will work for capturing attendee information.  A web search for lead retrieval apps or scanning badges at conferences will provide many application choices. Please utilize the application that best fits your needs.

 

Giveaways and prizes

Sponsors cannot give any products of value (over $50) directly to attendees. If you have products to give away, ACPE accepts donations that will be randomly given to its members during the closing ice cream social. Let us know if you have prizes to donate by using our prize donation form.

Sponsor Contract

Sponsor registration is not complete until payment is received and the sponsor contract is completed and returned. Sponsors received their contract via email after registration. To request another copy of your contract, please submit a request for a new copy.
