Exhibitor/Sponsor Invitation

Dear Possible Exhibitor/Sponsor,

As Program Chair for the Colorado Chapter of the American College of Physicians, I have been asked by Chapter Governor Alwin Steinman, MD, FACP to plan our Annual Scientific Session. I would like to invite you to participate and support this important event. This is the premier meeting in the State for Internists and Internal Medicine sub- specialty physicians.

The meeting is at The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs, Colorado, to be held on Friday, February 2, 2024, through Saturday, February 3, 2024. We expect attendance to be approximately 165 physicians, including those in private practice and clinic settings, academic facility- based physicians, residents, and medical students.

We are offering a limited number of exhibit tables for industry representatives at the meeting.  If you are interested, we encourage you to make plans soon to attend and display.  Exhibit fees and levels of sponsorship are as follows:

Platinum Sponsor ($5,000): Display table, (6' X 30"), Thursday through Saturday, your logo on the sponsor/exhibit poster, breakfast Friday and Saturday, luncheon Friday and invitation to Governor’s Reception Friday night.

Gold Sponsor ($3,000): Display table (6' X 30"), Thursday through Saturday, your logo on the sponsor/exhibit poster, breakfast Friday and Saturday, and luncheon Friday.

Silver Sponsor ($1,500): Display table (6’ x 30’) Thursday through Saturday, your logo on the sponsor/exhibit poster, breakfast Friday and Saturday. (Please note:  Friday Lunch is NOT included but is available for an additional fee.)

Bronze Sponsor ($1000):  Display table (6’ X 18’) Thursday through Saturday, your logo on the sponsor/exhibit poster. (Please Note: Friday breakfast, lunch and Saturday Breakfast is NOT included, but available for an additional fee.)

In addition to exhibit tables, we have support opportunities for which your company would receive special recognition at the meeting.  These include sponsoring one or more of the following:

For information on the cost to sponsor one of these events and/or to reserve your exhibit table please contact me or our Executive Director, Christine Westbrook at: 720-301-3184 or cochapteracp@msn.com as soon as possible.  All sponsorship opportunities are available on a first-reserved basis.
