Own the First Impression. Make the Lasting One. Capture the attention of high-value attendees the moment they arrive in the nation’s capital with airport advertising at Washington, D.C.'s major airports (DCA and IAD). Your brand will be featured on premium digital screens in high-traffic areas such as baggage claim, terminal walkways, and concourses—ensuring unmatched visibility before attendees even set foot in the convention center. This sponsorship aligns your brand with a first-class travel experience and provides continuous exposure throughout the conference window as travelers move in and out of the city. Be the first brand attendees see when they land—and the one they remember when they depart.
This is not an exclusive opportunity and will be based on airport ad availability at time of contract.
