Policies and Advertising
Private Events/Hospitality Suite Policy
Athough private company events do not qualify for sponsorship level benefits, Commodity Classic will try to accommodate your event needs. This ensures efficient convention preparation and avoids scheduling conflicts. Gold and Silver sponsors will receive information to request hospitality suites and housing or to arrange meeting space.
PLEASE NOTE: All functions must be requested and coordinated through Commodity Classic management and cannot conflict with any Commodity Classic event. Please review the Tentative Agenda for Commodity Classic events.
Press Conferences and Media Opportunities
Exhibitors at the Gold sponsorship level qualify for a Commodity Classic press conference. Upon finalization and scheduling of all Gold sponsor press conferences, nonsponsoring, exhibiting companies can request and purchase any remaining open press conference slots for $5,000. All requests for news conferences or media events are subject to the review and approval of the Commodity Classic management team.
Exhibitors at the Gold sponsorship level also have exclusive access to and use of the attending media list. Please note that exhibitors or companies who plan to entertain media CANNOT conduct any event or activity that would create conflicts with any scheduled Commodity Classic events. Please review the Tentative Agenda for Commodity Classic events.
Rebroadcast Policy
All public events conducted at Commodity Classic are property of Commodity Classic and cannot be rebroadcast in part or their entirety without written consent. Contact Peggy Findley, srsi@swbell.net or call (636) 677-4157.
