Sponsor, Exhibitor and Advertiser Opportunities

2015 alpha Annual Conference Rethinking Public Health June 7, 8 & 9 Ottawa Marriott Hotel, 100 Kent Street, Ottawa, Ontario Partial Draft Sponsor, Exhibitor and Advertiser Opportunities For our 2015 annual conference, alpha is very pleased to provide sponsors and exhibitors with some exciting new features in our conference opportunities package. Did you know that every day the average smart phone user checks their phone 150 times, spends 127 minutes using apps and has 65 apps installed? We want to build on these facts to enhance the experience of our members at our conference and provide amazing opportunities for sponsors and exhibiters to have better interaction with our members. Our members are the public health units in Ontario and our conference is attended by the senior managers and board of health members of these organizations. They are the decision makers who want to stay on top of trends that keep them at the forefront of opportunities for their organizations. And, 100 percent of them will be carrying a smart phone, tablet, or both at the conference. As a sponsor or exhibitor, the mobile app will make it easy for you to highlight to alpha s members your company/organization or a specific product/program. Also new for this year, alpha is offering an exclusive opportunity to co-sponsor the alpha Fitness Challenge. The Association of Local Public Health Agencies (alpha) is a non-profit organization that provides leadership to Ontario s boards of health and public health units. The Association works with governments and other health organizations, to advocate for a strong and effective public health system in the province, as well as public health policies, programs and services that benefit all Ontarians.
