CORPORATE ORGANIC SPONSORSHIP
Most of the major Platinum, Gold & Silver sponsors are highly visible companies with Main Level Expo booths. However, there is ample value in sponsoring even at the $275/Sustainer level whether you exhibit or not. Your logo and link will be visible for several months on this web site.
Financially supporting Canada’s longest running organic marketing event has its own rewards – you are helping an independent enterprise to succeed.
Our non-profit entity (Organic Food Conferences Canada) has an unspoken goal of not taking any government funds – so every $275 contribution helps us continue to grow the event ‘sustainably.’
