At NATEAC, evening events are just as essential as the high-level sessions. That's why ESTA is thrilled to announce the first round of sponsors for NATEAC's ever-popular social gatherings!

Rose Brand will sponsor the Harbor Cruise, which will kick off NATEAC on Saturday evening. "The dinner cruise at NATEAC has always been such a fun event," said Director of Products Joshua Alemany. "Not only is the scenery stunning, but it's a wonderful, easy-going opportunity to catch up and share the most recent 'war stories' with friends and colleagues. We are looking forward to seeing everyone there!"

Sunday night's charity dinner benefiting Behind the Scenes will take place at a new location, City Winery New York City, and will be sponsored by SGM and none other than NATEAC founder Bill Sapsis. "The decision to sponsor the NATEAC charity dinner and support Behind the Scenes in the process is an easy one to make," Sapsis remarked. "I will continue to take every opportunity to assist BTS in their work."

Managing Director Nicolas Champion had this to say about SGM's sponsorship, which also includes the charity dinner wine: "What's great about NATEAC is that it offers an environment that encourages conversation and an exchange of ideas and experiences. Rather than a canned pitch about a product, attendees get to engage in a series of real dialogues that can be so enlightening, educational, and essential to understanding the state of our industry today."

To close out the conference, the NATEAC after-party will be sponsored by Sapsis Rigging, Inc. and Harlequin Floors. "As a dedicated sponsor of NATEAC, Harlequin is looking forward to the long-awaited return of the in-person conference, and what better way to mark the occasion than to support the celebratory after-party," said Chrissy Ott Richter, marketing communications director of Harlequin Floors. "It is a perfect opportunity to connect with colleagues and to further conversations one last time."

Of their sponsorship, Sapsis said, "Sapsis Rigging is thrilled to sponsor the NATEAC closing party. Support the conference and get to see our friends? A perfect match!"
