2024 AIA CLEVELAND DESIGN AWARDS
Dear Potential Sponsor of AIA Cleveland,
We are thrilled to invite you to be part of an extraordinary evening at the 2024 AIA Cleveland Design Awards! Your past support has been invaluable, and we are excited to announce this year’s event, which promises to be more spectacular than ever. Mark your calendars for Friday evening, November 22nd, as we make history by hosting the awards for the first time at the beautifully refurbished Hotel Cleveland.
This venue, rich in architectural splendor, sets the perfect stage for a night dedicated to celebrating excellence in design across Cleveland and Northeast Ohio. It’s not just an awards ceremony; it’s a grand celebration of creativity, innovation, and community.
We are especially excited to reveal that this year’s event will be graced by the esteemed Steve Dumez, FAIA of Eskew/Dumez/Ripple, who will deliver an inspiring keynote address and serve as our jury chair. Imagine starting the evening with insights from one of the most inspiring architects of our time, followed by an extended cocktail hour where you can mingle with industry leaders while enjoying fabulous food and drinks.
The excitement doesn’t stop there. The highlight of the evening, the AIA Cleveland Awards Ceremony, will honor the pinnacle of architectural achievements. After the awards, join us for a vibrant reception filled with music, dancing, and engaging conversations that will spark new ideas and collaborations.
Our awards program and educational outreach thrive because of the generosity of sponsors like you. This year, we offer an array of sponsorship opportunities that provide significant benefits, including prominent recognition during the event, in our printed program, on event signage, and across various online media platforms.
Becoming a sponsor of the AIA Cleveland Design Awards is more than just a financial contribution; it’s a chance to network with a dynamic community of architects, designers, contractors, developers, and other key players in the industry. Hotel Cleveland offers a unique and memorable backdrop for these interactions, making it an invaluable occasion for fostering business relationships and gaining visibility.
For details on sponsorship levels and their benefits, please refer to the accompanying “Sponsor Opportunity” pages. If you have any questions, feel free to contact Patty Lampert, AIA Cleveland Executive Director, or the committee member who reached out to you.
Join us in this remarkable celebration of architecture and design. Your support will not only highlight your commitment to the architectural community but also ensure the continued success of events that inspire and educate.
We look forward to your participation and support in making the 2024 AIA Cleveland Design Awards an unforgettable evening. Thank you for considering this exceptional sponsorship opportunity.
Warm Regards,
Adam Yaracs, AIA, LEED AP, NCARB AIA Cleveland Design Awards Chair
