Partnerships

Much more than sponsorship...

CHART carefully selects partner companies that recognize the importance of people as a vital resource to the foodservice and hospitality industry. Partnership support is highly visible to CHART's membership, and can become an integral segment of each partner's marketing plan. CHART members help to advance partner companies and actively work with them to help trainers develop people and improve performance.

Partner companies benefit from CHART's growing recognition as a leading development and training resource for the foodservice and hospitality industry, and its record number of attendees to its conferences and media coverage of its events.

Categories of Partnership

CHART is an ideal venue for a company hoping to catch the attention of the hospitality training industry-both foodservice and lodging. There are two main partnership options to consider: Partner Company or Resource Gallery Participant.

Partner Company

This is an ideal opportunity for companies interested in developing relationships with trainers, either to learn more about training and the needs of trainers, or to network and build stronger bonds with this valuable client base. Gold and Silver partners are eligible to attend both CHART conferences each year, and to spend four days networking, learning and sharing information with CHART trainers.

CHART partners of all levels receive valuable promotional visibility throughout the conferences, and additional recognition throughout the year on the CHART website and in marketing materials. For a detailed list of Partner Benefits and Levels PartnerBenefits2010.

Resource Gallery Participant

The Resource Gallery is a vendor exposition held at each semi-annual CHART conference and is the only venue that accommodates promotion to members. This is an excellent, cost effective opportunity for a vendor showcase its products and services to CHART members, while experiencing the association's potential.

Gallery participants are carefully limited in number to maintain the intimate and effectiveness atmosphere, and are not permitted to attend the conference or network with members during other conference activities. For a detailed description of CHART's Resource Gallery RGInfosheet-2011.
