Sponsorship & Advertising
Sponsorship for local and national advertisers with AppleCon has multiple benefits. For out of state sponsors you are being exposed to a new market of tabletop gamers and fans that are eager to play games, socialize, and learn about the rapidly expanding game world. Cornish has not hosted a convention like Applecon in its long history and Main Street is becoming a bustling tourist destination with a great deal of visibility. Your presence can be connected on site, on our livestream, in media interviews and placed in the hands of gamers in the Northeast.
Locals, people are traveling to AppleCon from all over and staying in a new place in a new town and they are likely ready to explore some of the things Maine has to offer outside AppleCon. Let them know where to find your great meals, goods, amenities, and activities. This is your opportunity to become a favorite stop for visitors for many years to come.
