Sponsorship FAQs

Q: Do Solution Partners receive the list of attendees, including email addresses and contact information?

A: Solution Partners get full contact information for anyone they badge scan during the conference. In addition, they have full access to information shared by conference attendees on the conference app.

Q: How can I pay for my Solution Partner order?

A: You can pay with a credit card when you complete your application. Alternatively, you can pay via check (to our new address in Charlotte) or EFT (which is also new for 2023). Please note that fulfillment begins after you have paid in full.

Q: Can I purchase an “exhibit only” pass for junior staff to attend the trade show?

A: No. There is no trade show at the WERC Conference, the event is designed to encourage attendees and Solution Partners to connect throughout the entire four-day event. Sales teams, including junior staff, are encouraged to take part in everything the conference has to offer, and to connect with prospects during networking events, education sessions, facility tours and, of course, through your Sponsor Session. As a result, we only offer full-conference passes.

Q: How can my company unlock the benefits of becoming a Conference Partner?

A: Contact sales@werc.org to discuss the benefits available to Bronze, Silver, and Gold Partners.

Q: Can I select the time and date for my Sponsor Session?

A: Yes. Sponsor Sessions are available on Monday and Tuesday. Conference Partners are guaranteed a Monday slot (deadline applies). Fulfillment and selection only begins upon receipt of payment in full.

Q: Does my company have to be a member of WERC to become a Solution Partner?

A: We welcome all companies that offer solutions for warehousing, distribution, and fulfillment professionals, membership in WERC is not required.

Q: I am interested in sponsoring a WERCshop, can my company supply the speaker and content?

A: Yes, so long as your company abides by the content guidelines set out by WERC.

Q: How many attendees are expected at the WERC Conference?

A: We expect approximately 500 people to attend.

Q: If I purchase a Sponsor Session, how soon will I have access to the recording? What format is it provided in?

A: The video will be delivered in MP4 no more than seven business days after the last day of the conference.

Q: Can I bring equipment, pop-up banners or other display items for our Sponsor Kiosk?

A: No. Our Sponsor Showcase is not intended to replace a traditional trade show; there are no showroom hours, and attendees will not visit your kiosk as they may have visited your booth in years past. Instead, the WERC Conference is designed to bring Solution Partners and attendees together throughout the entire four-day event. In addition to hosting a Sponsor Session, sales team members are encouraged to attend networking events, education sessions, facility tours, and peer-to-peer sessions. You are welcome to bring small items that will fit on the small counter.
