Sponsorship Information for 2013

Sponsors and Partners,

We are excited and very grateful for the opportunity to bring the fire community together for education, training, exchange, and camaraderie at the Metro Atlanta Firefighters Conference 2013. MAFFC 2012 had more than 500 participants and we have every reason to believe that number will grow significantly in 2013.

MAFFC 2013 has a number of sponsorship levels available for this event. They range from major event sponsor to donating an item for raffle. These marketing opportunities will be presented to a target audience via pre-event marketing (website links, & flyers), weekend of event display (programs & signage), and at our social event (tables & screen display). Firefighters from metro Atlanta and around the southeast will attend and it will be a great opportunity to showcase your product and/or support of the fire service in this large metropolitan market.
