Sponsors Enjoy Unique Marketing Boost at Firefighters' Credit Union Conference

Exhibitors promote their products and services through video broadcast to all hotel rooms 24 hours a day throughout the conference.

St. Louis, MO (PRWEB) June 22, 2007 -- The 6th annual summit for Firefighter credit unions is scheduled for Albuquerque, New Mexico from October 10-13, 2007. Exhibiting sponsors have the added benefit of promoting their products and services through video broadcast to all hotel rooms 24 hours a day throughout the conference.

"We find more than 50% of conference attendees tune in to the conference video channel during their down time to catch the latest video clips and information," said Bill Rogers, Conference Manager. "We also provide an incentive in the form of a contest to encourage attendees to tune in. Most exhibitors use a custom Power Point program, but one is using a 2-minute video presentation." Current sponsors featured in this year's program include CUNA Mutual Group, L-9.com, Weber Marketing, Inc., CO-OP Financial Services and Harland Financial Solutions

Conference manager, Linda Bikoff, says a highlight of this year's summit is the International Hot Air Balloon festival which is scheduled during the summit. Conference attendees will be on hand during the Friday night balloon glow and will witness the lift-off of upwards to 700 balloons on Saturday morning.

The conference program features current issues of interest to firefighter credit unions. The summit allows firefighter CU officials the opportunity to network with each other and share experiences with other fellow credit unions from across the country.

The summit this past October received the highest attendee rating in its five year history. Jack Doll, Board President with the Newark Firemen Fed. Credit Union, commented, "This was an excellent conference that was very firefighter specific and an effective means of networking with others in the same group of credit unions."

Conference Manager, Bill Rogers, said, "Attendees at last year's conference rated the program a 4.65 out of 5." CEOs from 91% of credit unions attending participated in the 2006 summit. The summit drew more than 120 credit union officials and guests. Rogers said, "Credit Union suppliers do not have to attend the conference to participate in the video marketing. Sponsorship to include the video program starts at $300." Information on being a sponsor is available by contacting Bill Rogers at billrogers(at)swbell.net or calling 314-892-8632
