We would like to extend an invitation to your organization to partner with us, and the OMFPOA, to support both of the upcoming events.
The 2019 Symposium is being hosted at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology in Oshawa, Ontario, and will be attended by fire professionals from across the province. While the exact location of the 2020 Symposium is yet to be determined, it will also be taking place somewhere within Durham Region. In the past, the Symposium has proven to be a great success, where professionals are able to exchange ideas and knowledge in order to better protect and serve their communities. The Symposium is always generously supported by a variety of organizations, and without this support our success would not be possible.
This sponsorship package outlines the wide range of options available for your organization to support us. It has been designed to provide an opportunity for businesses of all sizes to contribute in ways that benefit them. Depending which sponsorship option is selected, the following benefits are available:
• Company exposure to more than 400 Fire Department representatives from throughout Ontario,
• Company exposure to Fire Department representatives from outside of Ontario,
• Opportunity to discuss your product or service with Fire Chiefs from Durham Region and surrounding Fire Departments attending the trade show,
