Sponsor Information

 

Why Should You Be A Sponsor?

Conference sponsorship is a way to showcase your organization’s technologies, products and services to substance abuse professionals, managers, staff and decision-makers.  Sponsorship creates exposure for your organization, provides an opportunity to broaden your contact with substance abuse professionals, allows you to promote your message and services with these professionals and assists you in increasing your awareness of new trends and pressing concerns in the Illinois addictions field.

 

Expected Attendance- 250-300
