SPONSORSHIP Important Details - 
​2023 cbw aNNUAL cONVENTION & tRADE sHOW

September 13-15, 2023 at NORTHERN QUEST RESORT

Thank you for your support of CBW and your commitment to community banking in Washington.  This is a prime opportunity to reach a high number of decision makers in the community banking industry. Convention sponsors are recognized as leading supporters of community banks.  I am confident that you will find great value in your investment.

AGENDA - The most up to date version can be found on our event app.  Look for Community Bankers of Washington in the App Store or Google Play.  Only registered attendees are able to view the full site.

Attendee List - anyone registered to attend the conference can see the list of attendees on the event app.  An excel copy of banker attendees will be sent to sponsors via email prior to the event.

What's Included - Your sponsorship includes all the receptions, dinners, and educational events.  One of the primary reasons for attending the convention is the amount of time you can be talking with the community bankers.  The trade show is a chance to show your “stuff”, but the opportunities to introduce yourself to individual bankers last the entire convention.  We request that you not schedule any meeting or events that conflict with convention activities.

NEW - Sponsor Scavenger Hunt - Each sponsoring company will receive enough $1 poker chips for each banker attendee and can distribute as you choose.  Bankers will need to talk with you to get the chip.  Sponsors can purchase additional chips if they want to make the stakes bigger. This is just one of several opportunities for attendees to earn poker chips.  There is unscheduled time on Thursday night to enjoy the casino.
