UPCOMING PROMOTIONS, MEDIA AND ADVERTISING SCHEDULE
WIT, through its media and trade partnerships, has a comprehensive advertising and media plan designed to meet the following objectives:

• Promote WIT Connect

• Promote Sponsors

• Secure quality attendance at the event through ticket and table sales

EMAIL CAMPAIGNS
WIT has built a solid opt-in email list of interested individuals and members who wish to receive regular communications. In addition to regular features in WIT’s monthly newsletter, three email campaigns will be issued during the promotional period in conjunction with key press releases. Confirmed event sponsors (with agreement and monies paid) will be recognized in all of these communications.

WIT WEBSITE AND SOCIAL MEDIA OUTLETS
WIT will actively promote WIT Connect and highlight sponsors on its website as well as its social media outlets, including Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn (join our group: ‘Women in Technology’). If your organization has social media accounts, please provide that information to events@mywit.org. All organizations which provide this information will benefit from recognition on WIT’s Twitter account leading up to the event.

SPONSOR PROMOTIONS OF WIT CONNECT
As an event sponsor, we are happy to provide you with an event logo and URL you can use to promote the event as well as content for web or print materials upon request. We encourage you to promote the event and your involvement to increase visibility and encourage increased attendance.

LOGO: DUE IMMEDIATELY IF NOT PREVIOUSLY SUBMITTED
Please provide a high-resolution copy of your company logo in both of the following formats:

• .EPS — Color

• .JPG — Hi-Res Color

Note: Logos cannot be pulled from websites or embedded in word documents or emails. If you have additional questions about the logo formats, please do not hesitate to contact us at events@mywit.org. Logos that are of poor resolution that do not conform to these guidelines may appear pixilated, grainy or blurry in printed materials.

LINK TO COMPANY WEBSITE: DUE IMMEDIATELY IF NOT PREVIOUSLY SUBMITTED
A link to your company’s website will be included in various communications on WIT’s website and can also be included in our mobile bidding technology. If you have a women’s affinity group, consider providing a link to that rather than your homepage, as that will be of interest to our audience.
