The 9th National Conference on Access Management will be held in Natchez, MS, October 10th – 13th, 2010. This conference will be offering sponsorship opportunities to corporate entities. We are pleased to share with you the exciting opportunities outlined in the enclosed information packet. 

This Transportation Research Board (TRB) sponsored conference is expected to draw over 200 engineers, planners, researchers and practitioners, from public and private sectors and academia, from across the country and abroad.  The conference is being hosted by the Mississippi Department of Transportation who is hosting the event. 

Your sponsorship will help to keep registration costs for this and future conferences at a reasonable level.  Additionally, it will help to support the TRB’s Access Management Committee’s goal of advancing the state-of-the-art practice in access management and its integration into established planning, policy and design processes.  Access management principles have a core relationship to highway safety, system sustainability and mobility.

Multiple corporate and local sponsorship opportunities include tiered sponsorship packages, student poster competition sponsorship, as well as specialized sponsorship packages upon request.  The tiered corporate packages include Platinum, Gold, and Silver sponsorships, which are described below.

Please help support the 2010 Conference.
