PMI25 sponsorships offer ways for organizations to feature products and services to conference attendees. New this year is an opportunity for one company to lend a helping hand to those in need by sponsoring hygiene kits provided by World Vision, an organization that facilitates donations to programs that benefit children, families and communities in need. A kit-building station will be set up with essential hygiene items and note cards with the sponsor’s logo. World Vision will distribute the assembled kits and note cards to the underserved and those dealing with the aftermath of natural disasters. Learn more about PMI25 sponsorship here.
