Extend your reach beyond the live Conference by placing your organization's advertisement before one of the Conference's on-demand education sessions.
Conference recordings continue to provide value after the event, giving your brand additional exposure to architects accessing continuing education throughout the year.
Choose to add either one static branded slide or a short video (30 seconds maximum) to run before the presentation. The advertisement will remain attached to the presentation for post-event on-demand access.
Displayed prominently on the app home screen throughout the Conference, your advertisement will reach delegates where they spend the most time during the Conference. The Conference app is the primary source for schedules, speaker information, maps, networking, and event updates, making it one of the highest-traffic digital assets during the event. Based on recent Conference data (average engagement): 380+ active users, 150+ QR code scans, and multiple daily logins.
