Association of Independent Trust Companies Retreat Sponsorship Opportunities
September 12-14, 2010 Indianapolis, Indiana
The AITCO Executive Retreat is a prime opportunity for product developers and service providers to meet face-to-face with industry professionals in an informal setting. Reaching the relevant decision makers with information about your company and products is critical to survival in today's competitive business environment. We would like to extend a special invitation to participate at this year's conference at The Conrad Hotel in Indianapolis on September 12-14, 2010.
AITCO attracts key individuals who are leaders in the independent trust industry. Many of these individuals are former bank trust officers who left their posts to set up their own shops. These people are determined to provide their local communities with trust services of higher quality, frequently at a reduced fee. These entrepreneurs are constantly looking for new and better ways to operate, market themselves, and build revenue. The AITCO Retreat is your opportunity to assist the members in achieving their business goals.
We will continue to do away with the exhibit style conference and hope that you will find your experience more rewarding with the additional time to talk and interact, rather than standing at a booth, waiting for our members to visit you. We hope you will come and see for yourself how the changes we have made will allow you more quality time with attendees and a greater networking opportunity.
Sponsorship in this event will assist you in developing new prospects while interacting with your existing clients. You will immediately position your company as a leader in the industry, and build brand awareness among conference attendees.
Below is a list of our most recent sponsors who have committed their support of the Executive Retreat. Please be sure to add your name to this list so that your company will also STAND OUT from the crowd.
