As always, creating visibility and opportunities for our vendors and sponsors to connect with our members is a key goal in CDI's annual event!

This Summit will offer you extensive opportunities to get face time with our attendees.

With CDI you will meet your best customers and prospects while increasing your visibility with sponsorship, advertising, and conference exhibition!

Our membership spans all career disciplines and includes resume writers, career coaches and counselors, job developers, recruiters, outplacement specialists, HR practitioners and other specialists from private practice, civil service, academia and military. We currently have members in 14 countries and are continually growing.

Prior conferences have demonstrated solid value to CDI vendors based on the unique layout of our exhibitor space.

Ever feel like those 'vendor breaks' seem to pass too fast? Hours set out across 2-3 days really only leave you with trickles of prospect face time?

CDI offers something different with a host of unique opportunities:

  1. Exclusive Vendor Fair tied to how-to-network effectively session on Thursday. Allow us to educate attendees to most effectively network with you about your products and services. Then, enjoy this event to meet them face-to-face on day one! Talk about setting the stage for successful visibility!

  2. Multiple networking events including vendor breaks, affinity meeting, reception, included boat tour, and post-Summit dine-about.

  3. Vendor space located conveniently in main meeting room lobby. There are no breakout sessions so ALL attendees are always right inside the door!

Every booth receives prime placement to ensure high visibility and traffic during our Summit. Further, CDI presents door prizes only during the Vendor Fair which keeps attendees in the room meeting with you!

CDI strives to ensure that your investment in exhibition and sponsorship is worthwhile through a variety of marketing strategies as outlined below.

Whether you take advantage of a vendor booth or make a longer lasting impression by adding sponsorship or simply opting for sponsorship alone, the CDI Conference is an outstanding way of increasing your traffic and capture more clients.

We hope that you will join us in Savannah, GA, October 20-22, 2011 for our highly unique Global Career Empowerment Summit.

Sponsorship Options

CDI Conference Sponsorship provides you with a cost-effective opportunity to promote your product, service or programs with multiple impressions on our website, newsletter, conference materials, and conference banquet presentation.

For your investment, you will reach both conference attendees, members, and thousands of potential prospects who we are marketing the conference to through the multiple impressions described below.

While many sponsorship opportunities provide you with nothing more than a business card sized ad in their conference brochure at these rates, CDI is offering two unique opportunities to spend just pennies per impression within your target market.

 

 

   

Exhibitor Testimonials

 

"Last time I saw a factor of 5-fold ROI on my investment..."

"In the decades of my career, I've survived many conferences as attendee and as a vendor. If you've been an exhibitor you know that not all conferences are "created equal". It's always a roll of the dice whether your investment in the conference will end in the plus column or the minus column.  

There's also the question of whether the attendees are serious or just looking for free trinkets and t-shirts.  So, I have to tell you how surprised and pleased I was by the attendees at CDI Summit. They were warm, intelligent, serious in their search for ways to improve both their services and their business. I found that almost uniformly, those who invested in the Summit came expecting to invest further in their businesses and seeking resources that enabled them to do so.

Many attendees stopped by my booth as a result of the excellent design of the space. I loved the depth and breadth of the questions they wanted to explore and their openness to different viewpoints. I felt welcomed instead of disdained, as is sometimes the case for vendors. 

In short, if you have a product or service that addresses this market, or the market these great professionals serve, you should find this an excellent investment for your business development resources. Last time, I saw a factor of 5-fold ROI on my investment and I made great connections and alliances that are still very warm and important to me and will continue to be for many years."

- Pat Schuler, The Gemini Resource Group

"What a wonderful gift to have a conference offer vendors the opportunity to participate in the conference programs, as more times than not, we are placed in another room. It is wonderful that CDI recognizes the fact that we are also entrepreneurs in need of guidance as we build our business’.

Thank you to CDI for a wonderful conference. I will definitely see you next year!"

- Val Matta, CareerShift, LLC
