SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

REASONS TO SPONSOR THE INVESTMENT CAPITAL CONFERENCE

The Investment Capital Conference is an unmatched opportunity to affirm your leadership in Southern California’s market for capital. It sets you apart from your competitors, and offers you an incomparable occasion to deliver your message to existing and prospective clients, and discover and build new fruitful business relationships.

Sponsors to the Investment Capital Conference automatically become sponsors of the year-round programs of the conference’s producer, the Los Angeles Venture Association:

• LAVA’s monthly Breakfasts feature exceptional presentations by prominent members of Southern California's financial, entrepreneurial, business and academic communities. Registration to each Breakfast continues to grow steadily and often exceeds 100 people.
  
  
• LAVA’s website is an important community asset that includes a full regional calendar of financing-related events; a searchable directory of LAVA members, speakers and sponsors; and valuable financing information supplied by LAVA’s sponsors and members. Traffic continues to grow rapidly, and currently surpasses 130,000 annual page impressions.

Sponsoring the Investment Capital Conference and the included sponsorship of LAVA is a safe investment that provides a solid return for your marketing dollars by: 

• Providing effective marketing channels. We give you many channels to communicate your marketing messages to our audience and a year-round presence in our monthly Breakfasts as well as our online and printed materials.
  
  
• Delivering the right audience. The 2005 edition of the conference attracted over 750 registrants, from entrepreneurs to C-level executives of growth-oriented middle-market companies, as well as opinion-leaders in the financial, advisory and academic communities.
  
  
• Producing a world-class event. The Investment Capital Conference sustains a very high profile for quality and image. This year’s venue is the luxurious, beautiful, historic Millennium Biltmore Hotel in downtown Los Angeles. Extensive event planning and execution assure satisfaction with every detail of the experience we give our sponsors, speakers, and guests.

The value of your placement in our marketing program alone is worth several times your sponsorship fees.
