Sponsorship Opportunities
Convention Background
Convention attendance is typically 400-600 registered attendees and another 100-200 unregistered attendees (registration is not required to visit the vendor rooms, show rooms, or attend the auction). Registrants skew male, 40+, with above average incomes. Registrants are typically advanced hobbyists who maintain multiple aquariums. Approximately 5% of registrants are international with attendees from Canada, Mexico, Central and South America, the Caribbean, Europe, and Australia.
Unregistered attendees are typically local, skew younger demographically - often families with children. The Milwaukee area has a large aquarium community, and recent Milwaukee Aquarium Society events have attracted over 1100 attendees in a weekend.
With the addition of the AGA to next year’s lineup, we are expecting 500-600 registered attendees and another 200-300 unregistered attendees (mainly Saturday and Sunday).
In recent years, the ACA convention has become a prime location for content creators to source material for social media posts and live streams. Next year will be no exception as we will be providing areas for content creators to do interviews and meet with attendees. Further extending our reach to those who are unable to attend.
Sponsorships
If you would like to sponsor our event, we offer several levels of sponsorship to accommodate all budgets. We also have a vendor showroom if you would like to attend the event and have a booth to meet with attendees. The following page lists the different levels and what the convention will provide in return for your sponsorship.
Thank you very much for your consideration and support. It is only with the support of the aquarium industry that events like this can continue to promote and grow the aquarium hobby.
