Twenty-four sponsors contributed $111,000 in support of the American Numismatic Association’s 2009 World’s Fair of Money®, Aug. 5-9 at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
"The support for this year’s convention has been incredibly strong," said David Truesdell, ANA sales and sponsorship manager. "We’re thrilled that in this tough economy so many businesses and dealers see value in the marketing opportunities the ANA offers at the World’s Fair of Money.
Our sponsors not only benefit from their marketing investment, but also contribute greatly to helping the ANA provide great educational programs and numismatic exhibits at no cost to our members."
Title Sponsors receive a variety of benefits, which include having their names and logos on bags for the show’s projected 10,000-to-12,000 visitors, and on the welcome banner at the bourse entrance, as well as free advertising in the convention program. All primary sponsors receive free or discounted convention program advertising, recognition on signage and sponsor ribbons for their staffs, plus other benefits.
