But that’s just the start.  We offer a wide range of sponsorship packages at various levels that will include your business name and/or logo on our advertising and on our website, will allow in some cases product and sample distribution, exhibit space and other benefits, including millions of media impressions throughout the region and even internationally.

Best of all, you’ll be able to link your name to an upscale, regional event that has significant visibility not only in our community and throughout Philadelphia, but also in the international jazz community.
