Whether you manufacture, import, distribute or sell firearms, provide physical hardware or cloud-based technology, consult, advise or financially back FFLs, every business strives to be a leader in the shooting sports industry. However, to become an industry authority, your company must gain brand awareness and visibility with prospective customers. One of the best ways to achieve this is through event sponsorship.

To be held virtually and in-person April 21–27, the 2022 Firearms Industry Conference (FIC) is the premier educational event for firearms professionals and the perfect opportunity to present your brand as a leader in the industry. But unlike other events, FIC 2022 offers sponsors far more than just logo placement.

Reach Decision Makers
Since 2014, FIC has hosted over 1,500 professionals from more than 600 companies, organizations and agencies across the firearms industry, including owners and executives, operations and compliance personnel, and attorneys and general counsel from all FFL types, industry trade associations and federal regulatory agencies. Of those, nearly 30% are executive decision makers and policy makers for their respective businesses and agencies – proof the industry values the annual event.

Support Industry Education
Fundamental to FIC is our mission to advance the firearms industry through education – and this year’s conference is no different. At FIC 2022, attendees will have the option of attending virtual and/or in-person learning sessions dedicated to critical, timely and relevant topics centered around three learning tracks: Firearms Law & Finance, FFL Compliance, and FFL Technology. With more than 40 sessions scheduled, attendees will have access to over 20 hours of education led by trusted subject matter experts. Plus, attendees will be able to interact with their regulators in roundtable discussions and question-answer breakout sessions.

In addition, sponsors will receive complimentary registrations to further pass on the gift of education to their team and industry partners.

Promote Firearm Safety
Developed by the NSSF, Project ChildSafe is committed to promoting responsible firearm handling and secure storage by distributing safety education messages and free firearm safety kits in all 50 states and in U.S. territories. As responsible gun owners and educated firearms industry professionals, we’ve partnered with the NSSF to donate a portion of all FIC 2022 sponsorships (and registrations) to Project ChildSafe in each sponsor’s name. Donations are included in the price of each sponsorship level.

Grow Your Brand
Of course, no sponsorship would be complete without opportunities for brand exposure. Depending on sponsorship level, FIC 2022 sponsors receive logo placement across the FIC website, conference signage and session presentations. Sponsors also receive ads in the conference brochure and inclusion in event press releases, marketing communications and social media from Orchid, Williams Mullen and other partners.
