Sponsor Opportunities
Dear Symposium Exhibitor/Sponsor:
We invite your company to share in our three-day Symposium on November 16, 17 and 18, 2011 and benefit from the quality audience attracted by our professional, up-to-date seminar program. You can be an integral part of our program by becoming an Exhibitor/Sponsor.
The Nassau/Suffolk Chapter of the National Conference of CPA Practitioners (N/S Chapter of ncCPAp) has over 600 member firms, representing more than 1600 individual members.
The 2011 Long Island Tax Professionals Symposium, sponsored by the N/S Chapter of ncCPAp in conjunction with other professional organizations, offers the opportunity to meet with CPAs and other accounting professionals, business owners and employees, corporate tax executives, financial planners and attorneys - Professionals who make decisions for their own firms and are highly influential on a variety of products and services required by their clients.
With over 700 attendees in 2010, LITPS was, again, the IRS’ largest event in the Northeast region. With the expansion of Crest Hollow Country Club, additional growth is expected in 2011 increasing the Symposium’s value to you.
Educational topics for attendees include tax updates on changes in Federal, State and local laws for individuals and businesses (including New York State and City, New Jersey and Connecticut); The new real estate tax laws; IRS practice and procedures and other exciting and informational sessions. Additionally, the seminar program highlights various Tax & Financial Services software products; and at least eight CPE in Accounting and Auditing.
We also provide special exposure for sponsors of one or more “Special Events.”
Changes in the program for 2011 include an expanded sponsorship program, value added, cost-effective, exhibitor packages and a full two-day exhibition schedule.
The Friday Technology Day Program, introduced in 2010, was well received and will be expanded for the 2011 event. Participants will be limited to those offering future and current technology for the Practitioner/Professional as determined by the Symposium management. This special program will only be available to ten vendors. If you believe your firm offers these special qualities and should be included in the Technology Day, please contact me as soon as possible.
This year the morning and afternoon coffee breaks will be held on the exhibit floor in addition to the free after-hours cocktail parties for all participants – all designed to enhance your exposure to the Symposium attendees in a relaxed, yet professional, atmosphere.
Please review this Exhibitor/Sponsor Package, select the options that work best for you and your firm and call Kathy Casey at 516-997-9500 to review your selections.
We look forward to your participation in the 9th Annual Long Island Tax Professionals Symposium!
Thank you
Robert Goldfarb, CPA, PFS, CFP®, CFE, DABFA, DABFE Symposium Chair
