Why sponsor the BEC Conference

BEC Conference brings the building envelope community together for three days of technical programming and the conversations that follow it. Attendees are contract glaziers, full-service glass companies, industry suppliers and fabricators, and the technical experts they rely on — a concentrated audience of people who influence what gets specified and installed.

Sponsorship packages are built to carry your marketing message through the full run of the conference, from hotel check-in to the closing session.
