2013 PRESIDENTIAL INAUGURAL PACKAGE
January 19 – 22, 2013
Washington, D.C.
First and foremost, we would like to thank our member companies who participated in the America’s Energy 2012 National Political Party Conventions program. It was a pleasure working with all of you and we hope that you and your executives found value in our program in Tampa and Charlotte.
Now it is time to look forward to the 57th Inauguration of the President of the United States. Once again, the American Gas Association, the Edison Electric Institute and the Nuclear Energy Institute (America’s Energy) will be joining forces to offer our member companies an opportunity to be a part of the 2013 Inaugural and to participate in several industry-specific events in Washington during the Inaugural Weekend, January 19-22, 2013.
The 2013 America’s Energy Presidential Inaugural Program will include tickets to a series of events, briefings and access to one hotel room at the Grand Hyatt at 1000 H Street, NW in Washington, D.C., during the Inaugural festivities. The cost of the room will be $699 per night (plus taxes). Each room will have a four night minimum.
While the Inaugural Committee still needs to determine much of the official program, we have created a tentative agenda for our Inaugural program, which is enclosed for your consideration. Please note that this is subject to change as needed as we await the official Inaugural calendar. The President must be sworn in on January 20th at noon. Since the 20th is a Sunday there will be a private ceremony and the ceremonial Swearing-In and Parade will be held on Monday, January 21st. Once we know how many companies are interested in the program, we will look at additional opportunities to sponsor events during the weekend. For your reference, past events have included: various State Society balls, Big Sky Night, Magnum and the Creative Coalition Ball.
Packages for the America’s Energy 2013 Presidential Inaugural Program are $15,000 per company and payment may be received from general treasury/corporate funds. Please note that this fee gives the member company access to a hotel room but does NOT include the hotel rate. Payment for both the Inaugural package and the hotel will be made directly to EEI and invoices will be provided upon request.
Please note: we will have very limited access to credentials for the swearing-in ceremony and the official Inaugural balls. We urge you to use every resource you have to secure tickets to these events as there is no guarantee that we can provide them to you.
