SOLD Dr. Nancy McCormick Rambusch Lecture: This annual event, which honors AMS founder Dr. Nancy McCormick Rambusch, will take on special significance at our 2010 Annual Conference, when we celebrate our 50th anniversary! On hand to introduce the Rambusch lecturer will be Dr. Rambusch’s daughter herself, Alexandra Rambusch. Sponsorship of the event will include signs with your logo displayed on monitors inside the lecture hall.

SOLD Conference Tote Bags: These sturdy tote bags, given to all attendees, are both a favorite on-site item and “conference take-away.” In addition to providing a handy place to store all the wonderful information collected during the conference, the totes are used for months after the conference and sometimes even years! Sponsor recognition includes your logo prominently printed on the bag, along with the AMS and conference logo.

SOLD Conference Lanyards: Be front and center on the minds of our conference goers when your organization sponsors the official conference lanyard. The lanyard is one of the most visible conference items. It is worn by all attendees to secure their name badge—required to be worn by all attendees throughout the entire conference. Your logo, along with the AMS logo, will be printed on the lanyard.

SOLD On-Site Conference Guide: The on-site conference guide offers the most up-to-date information on the conference including daily schedules of activities and room assignments, a hotel map, and Exhibit Hall information. Conference attendees refer to it throughout the day, every day, as a guide to where they need to be and how to get there. Sponsorship includes a full-page, black-and-white ad on the outside back cover of the program book—a venue often referred to in the publishing industry as “prime real estate,” because of its high-volume visibility.

SOLD Pens: Conference attendees will find the pen, emblazoned with your name, useful as they jot down tips and ideas learned during the conference. Your organization’s name will be printed on the barrel of the pen.

SOLD Note Pads: Each conference attendee will receive a custom-designed note pad imprinted with your organization’s logo on every page. Conference goers use the note pads to take notes during workshop sessions, and to capture tips and ideas learned during the conference.

Sponsorship Entitlements: In addition to the specific entitlements for each item, all sponsorships include:

• Your logo displayed and hyperlinked to your school, program, or organization, as a conference sponsor, on the AMS Website

• Verbal acknowledgement as a sponsor at a plenary event at the conference by the AMS executive director and/or AMS president
