Annual sponsors help support WCA’s ongoing mission to accelerate careers, develop leaders and foster networks.
We encourage our sponsors to become speakers, panel members, and moderators for WCA programming.
Benefits of annual sponsorship include:
- Access to 250+ WCA members
- Targeted messaging to 3,600+ top local communications professionals via email newsletter
- Brand visibility and recognition
- Recruitment and employee development
- Encouragement of corporate diversity and inclusion
- Support for local scholarship and philanthropy programs
- Contribution to your community and the support of a 90-year-old Austin institution
All WCA events in 2020, including the Get Smart Conference, will be virtual. As such, we will reduce all sponsorship prices by 20%, adjusting for fewer “in-person” benefits.
