The AIRI Annual Meeting remains to be one of the leading meetings that our attendees continue to make sure they attend. Each year both the attendees and the vendor support exceeds the previous year.  2011 marked the highest number of attendees and vendor support in AIRI's fifty years of providing an annual meeting. Each year sign-up from our vendor support gets earlier and earlier to ensure their presence at the AIRI Meeting is secured.

With that in mind, we are pleased to present this year's vendor support opportunities priced to fit everyone's budget ranging from $2500 and up. If you'd like help in getting the most out of your sponsorship, please feel free to contact David Issing, AIRI's Executive Director, who will work with you in designing a sponsorship that fits your needs. Simply email David here.
