WRC-ALCA 2018 Sponsorship & Marketing Opportunities & Benefits

(Sponsorship - Exhibit Spaces - Advertising)

***IMPORTANT: At this point, we are sold out of regular exhibit spaces but are taking a waiting list in the event a few open up (a possibility). If you are interested in an exhibit space only, we enourage your to register asap in order to be placed on the waiting list  (which IS a commitment as long as we advise by 8/31) and... that you indicate"pay by check" when you register. Should space open up (we will advise sometime between 8/16 and 8/31) we will advise and you may then send a check or pay by credit card at that time. Sponsorships are still available and include an exhibit table at the breakfast level sponsorship and above.***

Get invovled with the BEST conference for reaching those influencing older adults! We Invite YOUR COMPANY to participate. Take advantage of advertising, vendor and sponsorship opportunities here. This is an outstanding opportunity to share your product or service with a diverse group of professionals in a recession proof market!

Who Attends the WRC-ALCA Annual Conferences? Our membership includes approximately 400 Aging Life Care Professionals who serve the rapidly growing senior population who can afford your services.  In addition to Care Managers, you’ll also reach allied professionals in the aging community along with vendors in other disciplines. This is a unique opportunity to access qualified leads to seniors, family members and to other professional consumers.  

Who Sponsors and Exhibits at the Conferences? Companies and organizations whose products and services are geared toward assisting the elderly and the Care Managers who represent them are encouraged to exhibit – this includes those who focus on healthy aging, baby boomers, technology and more. Exhibitors and sponsors will have access to the ultimate decision-makers in the forefront of aging concerns. Past exhibitors and sponsors have been delighted with the caliber of attendees and referrals received from exhibiting at WRC-ALCA Conferences. 

Why Should YOU Participate? For every private pay client a CARE MANAGER sees, on average there are TWO additional involved family members and TWO professionals.  So for every client with whom the CARE MANAGER interacts, engages with and influences there are FIVE distinct potential consumers. On average each CARE MANAGER serves 100 clients in a year. So, each CARE MANAGER affords you with access to 500 hundred contacts. 
Equally important is the qualitative value of each of these contacts – Care Manager clients are individuals who value professional services, who can afford services, and who are willing to pay for services out of pocket.  

So what does 400 Care Managers mean to you? 200,000 viable, pre screened leads who need to find out about your services.
