Sponsor a Speaker

$500

Preserving the Historic Road recognizes the hard work that our session speakers put into their presentations and the expense of traveling to Albuquerque. As such, the conference has never charged registration to our speakers as a courtesy. Still, there are hard costs associated with every speaker that the conference must underwrite. Help us to continue attracting high quality speakers by continuing this tradition by underwriting on or more of our conference speakers. For your sponsorship you will be recognized in the on-site program and website.

Custom Sponsorship

We will be happy to work with your organization regarding any ideas you may have for a custom sponsorship opportunity.
