Promote Yourself at the Awards Dinner with A Program Book Ad

Are you looking for an opportunity to promote yourself in Washington?  If so, an advertisement in our program book for the 27^th Annual Awards Dinner is a great place to do just that.  One of the largest media dinners in Washington, our dinner brings together more than 1,000 journalists, media professionals, policy makers and corporate executives.   An advertisement in the program book is a great way to reach new audiences, congratulate this year’s award winners and support journalism that matters.  For table buyers, ads cost $1000 for a half-page, and $1500 for a full page.  For non-table buyers, ads include 2 tickets to the dinner and cost $2000 for a half page and $3500 for a full page.  For more information about purchasing program book advisements, contact Kerry Buker at Kerry@nationalpress.org.

2010 Dinner Offers New Sponsorship Opportunities to Invest in NPF Programming

For the first time, the National Press Foundation is offering branded sponsorship of NPF programs as part of the sponsorship packages available to 2010 table buyers.  Allstate Insurance Company has already purchased sponsorship of three Capitol Hill briefings.  These half-day programs to be held in Washington, DC will cover hot topics on the Hill.  More opportunities to sponsor Capitol Hill briefings are available for Gold and Silver level sponsors. 

Awards Dinner Receptions Offer Opportunities to Network, Schmooze and Dance

We are excited to announce that we have secured sponsors for all three receptions to be held at the 27^th Annual Awards Dinner.  Less structured than the formal dinner program, the receptions are a great opportunity to network  with dinner guests, meet  new colleagues and contacts  and celebrate journalism.
