The National Hydropower Association (NHA) offers a variety of opportunities for your organization to support this important event and showcase your commitment to water power.
You can choose specific items and/or activities to sponsor that align with your marketing objectives, company priorities, and budget.
Every sponsor* receives a pre- and post-attendee list (contact information is included for those who have agreed to share). These lists are intended for contacting attendees and not for mass marketing emails. We expect you to respect the privacy of all attendees.
*If you are not an exhibiting organization but wish to sponsor, there will be a $2,400 surcharge added to your sponsorship which does not count toward Tiered Levels (i.e. Kilowatt, Megawatt etc)
or call 816-588-4639.
Companies that are members of NHA receive a 25% discount on sponsorships.
All proceeds from sponsorships are used to support the work of NHA, the nonprofit national association dedicated exclusively to preserving and expanding clean, renewable, affordable hydropower and marine energy. Learn more about NHA’s commitment to water power.
