Locate Rodeo is a 100% sponsored run event, provided for our locate professionals in efforts to encourage better locates, a safer work environment and less damage to our utility infrastructure.

Sponsoring the Locate Rodeo is a great way to help showcase the vital work of the Utility Locator. Many sponsorship opportunities are available, at all levels. Be a Cowpoke (Bronze level), a Wrangler (Silver level), a Ranch hand (Gold level) or a Range Rider (Platinum level). All sponsorship levels provide concentrated recognition at a specific meeting or event.

All Sponsoring companies will receive the following exhibition and recognition opportunities:

• Logo displayed on an all inclusive sponsor banner
• Thank-you listed in the Locate Rodeo & Expo Show Program via Sponsored event listing

The 2008 International Utility Locate Rodeo & Expo Planning Committee has chosen Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia for the 2008 International Utility Locate Rodeo. The Utilities Protection Center, Inc. of Georgia will host this event which will bring hundreds of Professional Utility Facility Locate Technicians and spectators to North Atlanta for "The preeminent annual exposition to showcase the talents of proud individuals as well as provide the ideal venue to demonstrate and promote the latest and greatest technological advances in the field of Professional Utility Facility Locating".

To reach this goal we will need help from companies and organizations like yours to provide the special touches that will make this a memorable occasion, such as a truly enjoyable welcoming reception, a first class awards banquet and other activities to make this a very special experience for everyone.

We hope you will join other industry stakeholders in becoming a proud sponsor. This will be your chance to obtain special recognition from the abundant numbers of decision-makers and buyers who attend the Rodeo & Expo including locate contractors, municipalities, engineering representatives, in-house utility facility locating operators and of course your peers in the industry.
