Sponsorship Opportunities and Confirmed Sponsors
To maintain the intimate setting of the event, suppliers in the protective and marine coatings industry were offered a limited number of exclusive opportunities to participate as sponsors to better build relationships with current and prospective customers in fun and productive ways.
The sponsorships were broken down into the following tiers:
In addition to sponsoring meals, receptions and other activities during the Connect Event, the suppliers also confirmed prescheduled, one-on-one meeting with industrial coatings companies.
“The curated selection of suppliers and contractors keeps the gathering intimate and ensures that all attendees have the opportunity to interact both personally and professionally,” said TPC CEO Brion Palmer. “Feedback from past sponsors and invited delegates tells us their experiences were remarkably productive.”
One sponsor, for example, has participated in every Connect event:

We’ve sponsored every year since.”
