2019 AIA Detroit Celebration of Architecture EARLY SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITY PLEDGES

Planning for the 2019 AIA Detroit Celebration of Architecture is already underway! Every year, we strive to raise the bar for this landmark event, and to create opportunities aimed at providing more direct value and engagement to our partners and our members. 2019 will see the return of the successful "Industry Lounge" in the east wing, which will be private to ticketed guests all night (5:00-10:00pm).

In the north and south wings, we'll expand upon 2018's public exhibits, highlighting not only AIA Detroit's Honor Awards and other programs, but also including features from allied trade associations, nonprofits, and academic institutions across the AEC and Design industry. The aim is to CELEBRATE this evening as the industry-wide event it has truly become, and welcome the diverse range of professions with whom we collaborate on a daily basis. 

Sponsorship packages for the Celebration will fall into the same general tiers: Diamond ($5000), Platinum ($2500), Gold ($1500), Silver ($500) and Bronze ($100). Pledge to support the 2019 Celebration and place a deposit on a qualifying package* by January 31st, 2019, and your company will receive a free profile on AIADetroit.com for all of 2019! 

We'll also continue the "Add-On" options from 2018, and adding in some new a-la-carte add-on's for both print and digital advertising space in the printed event program, and on monitors around the Shed! Stay tuned for the full prospectus in 2019 with details on each package.   

To secure your spot at this year's Celebration, please pledge here (Eventbrite) by selecting a package and placing a deposit. AIAD Staff will reach out with an electronic invoice (via PayPal) for the remaining balance, which will be due by August 20th, 2019, and request any necessary materials (Logo, etc).
