Sponsors, Partners, and Donors,

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 (MAFFC) 2012. MAFFC 2011 had close to 500 participants and we have credible activity indicating attendance will increase significantly in 2012.

MAFOA has various sponsorship levels available for this event. The levels are detailed below. The opportunities for marketing during MAFOA’s flagship event are accessible to our sponsors, donors, and partners in three phases. The first phase is our pre-event marketing with the MAFFC website & flyers. Event marketing, the second phase, is available through our program literature during the weekend of MAFFC, May 18-20. The third phase of marketing occurs at our social event, the Firefighters Bash on the 19th of May. Firefighters from metro Atlanta and around the country will attend. The “Bash” will be a unique occasion to show your products, services, and/or your support of the fire service in this large metropolitan market.

Last year’s event was a resounding success. This year’s bash will be held at the Hyatt Regency Suites Atlanta Northwest, 2999 Windy Hill Road, Marietta GA.
