Raffle & Giveaway Announcements

This opportunity is exclusive to Diamond and Zirconium level sponsors. If your company is contributing a raffle prize, you're invited on stage to announce your winner during Saturday's Giveaways & Closing Messages, around 12:00 PM. Please select your winner before lining up for announcements.

How It Works

A representative from each Diamond and Zirconium sponsor with a raffle should line up just outside the ballroom and meet Maria there — she'll escort you to the front.

Be ready to share: your name, your company, your prize, and your winner. This is a quick process.

Winners must be present to win.

Table Setup & Load-In

Sponsor setup begins at 4:00 PM on Thursday, September 24 and runs through 6:00 PM. When you arrive, head to the event foyer, where you'll find your company name and table number on your designated table. Please be fully set up and ready to go by 7:00 AM on Friday, September 25.

Setup

Please see the Shipping Instructions guide for complete details on sending materials to the hotel ahead of time. Be sure to notify our team once your shipment is on its way so we can look out for it.

Hotel contact for shipping inquiries: Fairmont Washington, D.C. Georgetown
2401 M Street NW, Washington, D.C. 20037

Load-Out

Please plan for your team to remove all materials by the close of the event on Saturday, September 26. If you need to arrange a later pickup or shipping return, please coordinate with the hotel directly.

Sponsor Room — Culpepper

We'll have coffee and tea in the Culpepper Room, which also serves as sponsor box storage during the event.

Advance Shipments

Boxes shipped to the hotel in advance can be picked up in the Decatur Room. Advance shipments must be paid for ahead of time.

Box Storage

Use Culpepper to store any extra boxes or overflow materials during the event. This keeps the sponsor floor neat and orderly for everyone.

A friendly reminder: please respect your designated table space and avoid infringing on your neighbors' space.

What to Bring for Your Table

A suggested checklist for your sponsor setup.

Table display / banner or backdrop
Business cards
Product samples or brochures
Branded giveaway items
Raffle item (if contributing)
Lead capture method (clipboard, QR code, tablet)
Any AV or display equipment

Note: Electricity — including power strips — must be ordered in advance through our AV partner, Encore. We cannot guarantee electricity will be available if you wait to order on-site, and if it is available, it will likely cost more than ordering in advance.

Accommodations

The event is held at the Fairmont Washington, D.C. Georgetown — staying on-site makes setup and load-out significantly easier. We recommend booking at the group rate while rooms are available.

Getting There

Flying In

  • Reagan National (DCA) — closest airport, approx. 15–20 min by rideshare
  • Dulles (IAD) — approx. 40–50 min by rideshare
  • BWI (Baltimore) — approx. 50–60 min by rideshare

If you are transporting display materials, a rideshare with luggage space or a rental vehicle may be the most practical option.

Driving & Parking

If you're driving, contact the Fairmont directly to confirm valet and self-parking availability and rates.

Georgetown does not have a direct Metro stop, so many sponsors find driving or rideshare most practical.

Event Check-In

In order to confirm your electrical and AV requirements are set up in advance of your arrival, please send Tanya an email with a copy of your order form. If you are shipping items, please send her an email with your shipping information (number of boxes, carrier, tracking number) so she can assist having these items delivered by 4pm Thursday.  If you want them delivered at an alternate time (such as 6am Friday) or to your room, please indicate that on your order form and on your email. As much advance information as you can provide us will help us assist you to make this a smooth process.

Packages shipped to the hotel will be delivered to your table by 4pm September 26th.  If you are not planning on “setting up” on September 26th, please contact Tanya Franco (tanyafranco@viastrozzi.com) and she will arrange for your packages to be stored in the Sponsor Meeting Room (see previous responsibility disclosure) or assist you in getting the hotel to deliver the boxes at 6am. (Please note early deliveries are sometimes difficult due to staffing).
