Sponsorships
Our team secures hundreds of thousands of dollars for naming rights, venue premium seating, signs, and event sponsorships annually. The Resch Center and Resch Expo offer businesses a platform to market their product/service to over a half million people a year. In addition, because the events at the complex are so diverse, businesses have the unique ability to segment their messaging based on the event, helping increase the return on investment of their sponsorship dollars.
Booking
With more than 40 years of experience in booking and promoting family shows, sporting events and concerts, PMI works closely with agents, managers and promoters in the industry. In some cases, PMI is the promoter and takes sole risk for a concert to make sure it comes to one of our venues.
