Conference Sponsorship Opportunities

Iowa Mental Health Counselors Association 14th Annual Conference

Thursday, April 30th & Friday, May 1st 2020

Sheraton West Des Moines Hotel

1800 50th St. West Des Moines, IA 50266

NOTE: All exhibitor tables at the conference are full, so please contact Lindsay Stack directly  lkalvig@yahoo.com if you are interested in being a Gold or Platinum sponsor. There are other benefits and ways we promote your business, but you will not be able to have a table at the conference.

All 2020 IMHCA Conference Sponsors are recognized on the IMHCA Conference Web site, at the event, in printed materials, from the podium and on signage. Priority recognition is given to our package sponsors, by level of sponsorship. A sponsor’s package level is determined by totaling all contributions to the conference in the form of exhibit space, conference advertising, cash contributions and individual conference sponsorships.

Conference sponsorships complement and enhance your presence at IMHCA’s Annual Conference and Exhibits.  These sponsorships offer a high-impact opportunity for you to raise your visibility with this network of mental health counselors who reach thousands of patients, clients, and students each year.

Below are various sponsorship levels with benefits. Please note that sponsoring individual events will be combined to determine overall sponsorship level (i.e.—If an organization sponsors a lunch for $1000 and a breakfast for $500, for a total of $1,500, the organization would be recognized as a Platinum Sponsor.)
