BECOME A SPONSOR OF HYBRIDFEST 2008

WHY SPONSOR: Sponsorship of Hybridfest is a way to get in on the ground floor of growing regional and local support for alternative transportation. The 2007 festival saw roughly 12,000 visitors viewing 200 vehicles and learning about them, with exhibitors coming from Wisconsin, Illinois, Ohio, Florida, Minnesota, Michigan, West Virginia, Connecticut, Texas, New York, and Massachusetts. That number will be greater in 2008 because of continued collaboration with the well-established Dane County Fair, which annually draws more than 60,000 people including 10,000–15,000 on each of the two days on which Hybridfest is scheduled. The Hybridfest MPG Challenge (July 18, a day prior to the public Hybridfest displays) is certain to draw interest of the media as well. Be recognized as a leader in improving transportation and air quality throughout the Midwest and North America. Help increase awareness regarding the important issues of climate change and the need for sustainable transportation.

SPONSORSHIP BENEFITS: Each sponsorship level offers both general marketing benefits and preferential status at the event. Sponsors will be included in the general Hybridfest marketing campaign that targets businesses, individuals, and organizations across the Midwest. Hybridfest sponsorship also includes prominent placement at the event itself; direct exposure to leaders from the public, private, and corporate communities who are interested in environmental products and solutions; and featured placement in the event publications. Hybridfest 2008 offers an indoor vehicle show and a 45,000-square-foot exhibit area, with excellent opportunities to showcase your products and services to the environmentally-concerned businesses and technology-loving individuals in attendance.

Becoming a Hybridfest sponsor is not only a good investment, it’s rewarding and fun! We encourage sponsors to take time to participate actively in the event by exhibiting, speaking, and joining in on-site discussions.  Sponsorship will expose you to people who are interested not only in hybrid and alternative fuel vehicles, but other related products and solutions as well. This event offers an indoor festival area for you to showcase your company and its products/services to the environmentally-conscious and -concerned attendees. And with our 45,000-squarefoot indoor exhibit hall, we’ll be attracting crowds in all kinds of weather!

Hybridfest is one of the Midwest’s first events specifically devoted to the hybrid electric vehicle and other vehicles and fuels that can wean America off its dependence on foreign oil. Last year, more than 12,000 people visited or experienced Hybridfest 2007: A Hybrid Electric Car Show and More! The festival boasts attendees from more than 30 different states with more than 200 hybrids on-site. The Hybridfest MPG Challenge pitted hybrid owners against each other in a maximize-your-MPG driving competition.

Hybridfest provides a venue for hybrid owners and the general public alike to interact and compare not only current favorites but also new and forthcoming hybrid car offerings. Attendees, drawn from the Dane County Fair audience, are serious about their transportation options and came to learn more and discuss related products, services, and worldwide and cultural impacts. The important issues of climate change, air quality, and the need for sustainable transportation are all topics of interest. 

Hybridfest presents a showcase of alternative transportation solutions—from concept vehicles to vehicles that are available and affordable today. Hybridfest 2008 isn’t only about hybrids; it will also include flex-fuel E85, biodiesel, PHEVs, electric cars, and other current and future transportation solutions. 

Don’t miss this chance to participate and deliver your message to the thousands of attendees who are interested in understanding and purchasing from the array of alternative vehicles.
