VMX 2024: Hands-On Workshop Sponsorship Levels and Policies
Thank you for your interest in joining us with a VMX 2024 Hands-on Workshop Sponsorship. We have several levels and ways to get involved to provide great exposure for your company. All of the sponsorship benefits we provide in return are outlined below.
Workshop sponsorship levels are determined by:
- The retail value of consumable goods (if not all consumable goods donated are utilized in the year they are donated, the full value of the goods will only be recognized in the year they are donated. NAVC will handle storage, shipping and handling of all donated equipment after we initially receive it.
- Donated equipment will be valued at the retail price the first year. The value will be valued at 50% for 2 years thereafter. NAVC will handle storage, shipping and handling of all donated equipment after we initially receive it.
- Rental price of equipment used in the Hands-on Workshops
- Instructional and logistics support (i.e. company representatives who are given an official instructional assignment or help set-up or clean up in Hands-on Workshops) will be valued and credited at $100 per hour of workshop. A $250 credit will be applied to sponsorship for set up and/or clean up if those services are provided. The ability to contribute support in the workshop must be approved by NAVC Hands-on workshop staff in conjunction with the respective workshop coordinators.
- Financial donations are always welcome and encouraged! Those donations can be utilized to increase the sponsorship level.
- Shipping and receiving fees (including shipping and receiving equipment). A reasonable estimate for shipping fees will be accepted. Both incoming and outgoing shipping will be eligible for this credit. (Please note that shipping invoices/receipts from the previous year or written shipping estimates must be provided to determine the value of this credit. These will need to be sent to the Hands-On Workshop manager prior to this value being added to the sponsorship level)
