Increase your brand visibility with a Pacific Marine Expo Happy Hour sponsorship. This popular event offers a fantastic chance to boost your presence on the show floor, attract traffic to your booth, and generate new leads. Engage with potential customers outside your booth through promotions, contests, or giveaways.
As a bar sponsor, you’ll have exclusive rights to promote your brand in the Beer Garden on your sponsorship day. Treat it as an extension of your booth, creating a marketing plan to drive excitement and engagement. Sponsors also receive two double-sided billboards placed in the Beer Garden for the entire day of the event.
On opening day of the Expo, this Happy Hour will showcase the premiere of Graveyard Point. This documentary, produced in collaboration with National Fisherman and filmmaker Silas Karbo, captures the journey of 120 fishermen returning to an abandoned cannery in search of one of the world’s greatest sockeye salmon runs. As a sponsor, your brand will be front and center during this highly anticipated screening.
Be a part of celebrating excellence as the industry gathers to honor this year’s Highliners—outstanding individuals recognized for their contributions to commercial fishing. This Happy Hour is where attendees can mingle with awardees and leaders, reflecting on the achievements of their peers. This is an exclusive chance for your brand to stand out as the crowd gathers to toast to the industry’s best.
The Coastal Challenge is an exciting individual competition at Pacific Marine Expo that tests participants’ maritime skills and expertise through engaging tasks. Attracting a dynamic crowd, competitors showcase their abilities in various challenges, fostering a spirit of healthy competition. The Coastal Challenge takes place in the National Fisherman Arena directly next to the beer garden. This is your chance to mingle with attendees in the concluding ceremony of Pacific Marine Expo!
Want to get your product front and center in the hands of commercial fishermen? Sponsor one of the skills challenges to do just that. If you sell rope, nets, or survival suits this sponsorship is for you! Be the exclusive sponsor of one of our four skills stations and provide your product to be used in the competition.
