2020 Summer Conference Sponsorship/Ad Information

ADVERTISING AND SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR FIRST-EVER VIRTUAL SUMMER CONFERENCE

The Florida LGBTQ+ Democratic Caucus, representing lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer Democrats in Florida, presents our 2020 Summer Conference, It’s In Your Hands, Saturday, September 12 from 10am to 2pm. This is our first-ever virtual conference, broadcasting from the studios of our media sponsor, Hotspots Media Group. Our Summer Conference, hosted by the Dolphin Democrats, will convene hundreds of politically active Democrats from across Florida to hear from state, local and national elected officials and candidates, party officials, allied activists, and issue experts as we prepare for the most consequential election in modern times.

As always, the Caucus is committing funds raised for our conference to our LGBTQ GOTV activities. Our 21 chapters located throughout the state — from Miami to Pensacola — are active and organized. According to NBC News, nine percent of voters in the primaries identified as LGBTQ, meaning our community is the margin of victory for candidates, issues and causes up and down the ballot. We are the key to turning
Florida blue in 2020.

Our huge statewide real-time viewing audience will have multiple platforms on which to view the conference broadcast, which will also live online on multiple sites beyond the election.

We’ve developed sponsorship opportunities intended to increase visibility and awareness among our members and Florida voters. We welcome your participation, and are anxious to answer your questions, provide more information, and discuss which advertising or sponsorship package works best for your campaign, candidate, project, business or organization.
