Sponsored Webinars

AHEAD is pleased to enhance its Sponsored Webinar marketing opportunity for organizations that wish to make their products and services better known to the AHEAD membership.

Sponsored Webinars are hosted by AHEAD using the Zoom webinar platform and are free to all AHEAD members. All webinars include real-time captioning, marketing and PR, tech support, and a recording of the webinar posted to AHEAD’s website as an ongoing resource for members. The cost for sponsoring a webinar is $2,000.  

Scheduling

AHEAD members are accustomed to viewing Sponsored Webinars on Wednesdays from 3 - 4 p.m. Eastern. As a result, AHEAD recommends that schedule. However, we are happy to work with you on other options that might better fit your schedule. 

AHEAD will schedule, at most, one Sponsored Webinar a month. If you are interested in this marketing opportunity, we suggest you get in touch soon to secure your space.
