ABOUT THE SUMMIT The Digital Media and Advocacy Summit is the premier event providing advanced content and best practices for the digital advocacy, public affairs and grassroots communities. The Public Affairs Council brings together digital experts and experienced practitioners from Fortune 500 companies, influential advocacy groups and leading associations for a full day of idea sharing, networking and tactical skill building. The 2020 Virtual Summit will take place on August 18 on an interactive virtual platform.
AUDIENCE In 2020, based on our conversations with the community, we expect more than 100 digital, advocacy and communications professionals to attend. In 2019, attendees included employees from AARP; Air Line Pilots Association, International; AT&T; eBay; Exelon Corporation; National Association of REALTORS; Pfizer and more. Sample titles of 2019 attendees include: associate vice president, digital advocacy; director, digital and political affairs; director of grassroots advocacy; manager of government affairs; director of communications; manager of digital communications; and vice president of public affairs. As of June 24, over 25 attendees have registered. We can accommodate a virtual crowd of up to 500.
SPONSOR BENEFITS Promote and Showcase Sponsoring the Digital Media and Advocacy Summit allows you to advertise your firm and services to our attendees. Your name and brand are present in marketing and throughout the event itself, giving you repeated exposure to this unique community. Network and Connect During the Summit, there will be numerous opportunities to network virtually and meet new people in your industry. For the first time, the Summit will feature a virtual exhibit hall, a virtual networking lounge and a virtual cocktail hour lead by a professional mixologist. Attendees who have been quarantined at home are looking for ways to connect and engage with their peers
across the advocacy space and we hope our virtual conference will serve as that venue. In order to address rising complaints, we no longer distribute full contact information of registrants to all conference participants. Sponsors, however, will still receive EXCLUSIVE ACCESS TO THE ATTENDEE LIST, including full contact information, for event-related communications. Please see our sponsorship policies for additional information regarding the use of this list. We Value You We appreciate what you offer to the community and to our event, and we’re dedicated to helping you get the most out of this opportunity. Let us know if you have ideas on how to make this event a success.
