1. 2010 Sponsorship Opportunities
April 28-29, 2010 | Washington Pavilion, Sioux Falls
Plain Green is where innovators and change-makers gather to learn and connect around green design,
education, business and ideas. Fantastic keynotes, in-depth workshops, community networking, how-to
sessions and green exhibitors. All under one historic roof.
We’re advancing sustainability in all it’s forms on the Northern Plains, and we want you to be an important
part of it. Plain Green sponsors connect to our audience in powerful ways, and let people know they’re
serious about a green future. 82% of Plain Green attendees surveyed in 2009 said they would prefer to do
business with conference sponsors.
See our star-studded slate of keynote speakers on page 6. We will be promoting Plain Green for four
months on Sioux Area Metro buses, radio, newsprint, posters and digital billboards and launch an
aggressive online campaign crossing many platforms. Plain Green 10 will make a leap to the big time.
