SUMMIT SPONSORSHIP

PCRG Community Development Summit sponsorships provide coveted marketing and networking opportunities. More importantly, based on the sponsorship level, each sponsor has the potential to have access to an ever-growing audience with even more earned media, a strong social media presence, and direct promotion through speaking opportunities, summit newsletter content, and traffic which is widely promoted, highly anticipated, and talked about across the community development industry. Be part of this transformational experience. Become a sponsor today. 

 The inaugural PCRG Community Development Summit, a partnership with the Urban Land Institute Pittsburgh District Office took place in 2011 and drew more than 300 individuals who joined us to learn, share, and network. Drawing speakers and participants from a broad base so that the region could capitalize on national connections, trends, and opportunities. The Summit has grown today to 600 attendees – increasing our reach and exposure, and along with it, our impact. 

 Summit participants come from an 11-state region, New York to Virginia, Michigan to Maryland, and range from developers, elected officials, government representatives, community development practitioners, affordable housing developers, thought leaders, policymakers, advocates, financial institutions, and local businesses. Your message will reach them all. 

 The Summit’s speakers and sessions will explore Equity in Action – how to actively take steps to ensure everyone has a fair opportunity to succeed, regardless of their background or circumstances, by addressing systemic barriers and providing tailored support where needed, rather than simply treating everyone the same. Essentially, putting equity into practice. Participants will hear from industry-content experts who can speak about what initiatives and projects are taking place, how they were implemented, their plans for moving into the future, and how they are defining what success means. 

 We know that the Summit’s remarkable advancements would not be possible without our sponsors’ generosity. Your contribution enables PCRG to continue to attract nationally renowned keynote speakers, provide discounted registration to grassroots organizations, and continue to educate, invest, and celebrate the community development industry. We ask you to consider supporting the event this year. If we have learned anything over the years, it is that we all must come together and support each other if we hope to make change. Your investment as a sponsor will live beyond the event as an investment in people, this organization, and the region.
