SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES -

January 7-10, 2018 | TradeWinds Island Grand Resort

what is solutions?The event began almost 20 years ago as a simple Users Conference, to teach Real Green

Systems customers how to use their software through a series of learning sessions.

It attracted fewer than 50 participants.

Today, that Users Conference is called Solutions, and has evolved into a much anticipated

event in the green industry, attracting approximately 700-1000 attendees, vendors and

sponsors. Attendees come to learn from industry experts in area such as leadership,

marketing, industry trends, and business management – some are led by event sponsors

in their chosen area of expertise.

Solutions has become the prime sales event for sponsoring companies, and for green

and pest organizations such as National Association of Landscape Professionals,

National Pest Management Association, and Project EverGreen seeking to increase

their memberships and volunteer resources. Repeat sponsors say they gain more new

customers, members, and volunteers from the qualified purchasers at Solutions than from

GIE+Expo or PestWorld.

Objective

Provide Real Green Systems partners and event sponsors with the opportunity to

advertise and promote to, as well as interact with, over 700 qualified service industry

product and service purchasers, through a combination of pre-event promotions, event

trade show space, structured promotional activities during the conference, and post-event

promotional opportunities.



overall event sponsor packages: OVERVIEW

All four sponsor levels include event in-app lead scanning, rating, annotation, and

retrieval capabilities. We encourage all sponsors to use this feature to experience the

full benefits of exhibiting at Solutions.

All sponsor levels get their messages emailed to our attendees after the event. Just
