Welcome to our Sponsors and Exhibitors!

 

  • Thank you for considering us a partner in your mission. The annual conference of our 111-year-old association brings together Catholic publishers, journalists and media professionals from all industry segments.

    If you want to reach decision makers in Catholic communications, you will find them at the Catholic Media Conference. Showcase your services and innovative products by meeting with print editors and general managers, web designers, bloggers, communications directors and media professionals who are looking for ways to improve the quality of their work.

    The Catholic Media Conference, structured over three days, offers multiple events to increase interaction with attendees.

    The exhibit area is in the main hallway accessing the breakout and dining rooms offering maximum exposure throughout the conference.

    The Tuesday Welcome Reception and multiple 30-minute coffee breaks ensure that attendees have plenty of opportunity to review your services.

  • Selecting a CMC site begins with an invitation from a CMA member publication and the ordinary of that diocese to host the conference. We chose Portland to provide attendees with a location offering access to mountains, hiking trails, great restaurants. It is a great, walkable city.

    Join the locals on a bicycle ride, visit some of the history museums, savor the beer from over 75 craft breweries, and browse the Portland Saturday Market (open on Sunday, too), the largest arts-and-crafts fair in the United States.

    Strategically placed in a central hallway, the exhibit area offers easy access to attendees as they pass between sessions and meals. Receptions, 30-minute coffee breaks and other events specifically planned for the area ensure that attendees will have plenty of time to meet with exhibitors and review their services.

  • Sponsorships enable businesses to make a targeted reach during the conference by supporting activities and events throughout the conference.

    Typically, event sponsorships are not exclusive, and multiple sponsors may support a particular event. A limited number of opportunities exist for Gold, Silver and Bronze sponsors to make a presentation during one prime event with approval from the CMA Executive Director and the National Planning Committee.
