Advertise in Print Media
DEPS has announced a new opportunity for organizations to showcase their companies to our community.
We are enhancing our standard exhibitor brochure by expanding it into a more robust Attendee Guide that includes information
relevant to every day at the event. Attendees will need to keep this guide with them throughout the week.
That makes it one of the best places to highlight your brand, services, and offerings.
In addition, you may now purchase advertising space in our agenda. Full- or Half-Page Ads are available for purchase on the back cover or center page.
Advertising in the event's print media helps you:
Reach a highly engaged audience while they're actively planning their events for the week, such as where to go and who to visit.
Increase visibility beyond your booth with repeated exposure throughout the event.
Drive traffic and conversations by featuring your message next to high-use schedules, maps, and daily content.
View a sample of the new Attendee Guide and Agenda, and the promotional opportunities they offer. Pricing included in the PDFs.
DEPS is pleased to offer King Casita hospitality suites at the beautiful El Conquistador during the Annual Symposium. With casita locations
throughout the property that offer desert or mountain views, your organization will be well represented. A suite must be purchased for the full event
(Check-in Monday and check-out Friday). Price for the four nights is $3300. A sample suite appears below.
To request a suite, please complete this Hospitality Suite Application.
DEPS has negotiated catering prices with several options to choose from. Contact Cynnamon Spain for additional information.
