Sponsorship Opportunities

The loss of a rural grocery store threatens the health of local citizens and the very existence of rural communities. Kansas State University and a broad range of partners are working to assist rural communities and their grocery stores. We have been collecting data on rural grocery stores by surveying storeowners and rural grocery consumers, identifying and archiving the latest research and talking with store owners, policy makers, suppliers and funders about grocery store challenges and their best practices.

Show your support for America's rural communities through the sponsorship of the Rural Grocery Summit III. Sponsorship will be seen by the wide variety of attendees of this year's summit and all who visit our rural grocery website.

By becoming a sponsor you will have the opportunity to:

Advertise your company to key stakeholders for small businesses
Introduce your products and services at the summit
Customize support to match your budget and company goals

By sponsoring the 2012 Rural Grocery Summit you will have the opportunity to create name recognition with statewide small business owners – your potential opportunities are listed on the additional pages.
