BOAT 2026 Sponsor Program
The opportunity to sponsor and/or exhibit during the 2026 BOAT Annual Conference is open to any business or professional organization related to the government building inspection and operations field. Accepting a company’s sponsorship does not in any way constitute an official endorsement by BOAT or its offices of any product or service offered by the sponsoring organization.
Sponsorship availability is updated on a regular basis. While we strive to keep this page current, not all sponsorship opportunities listed may be available at the time of viewing.
Please Note: Full payment for the selected sponsorship level must be received by BOAT within 14 days of requesting sponsorship in order to reserve and confirm your placement for the 2026 Annual Conference.
SPONSORSHIP SIGN-UP: Please email BOAT Manager, Tristan Gideon (tristan@tml.org) your preferred sponsor level and category (if applicable). Sponsorships are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis and are subject to confirmation.

Rules and Regulations
Your exhibit area is your responsibility and how you decide to display it is up to you as long as you don’t infringe on another table. You have the space behind and on your table. We just want everyone to have fun, network, and get the most out of this conference.
Please be aware that we must work with the hotel with regards to space and the availability of electricity. It is highly recommended that you bring an extension cord and power strip. We will provide you with one 6-foot, draped table, two chairs and access to electricity.
Exhibit tables will be available for setup starting at 1:00 p.m. on Tuesday, August 4. All tables must be set by 5:00 p.m. so everyone can attend the Texas Shoot Out. The sponsor area opens officially on Wednesday at 9:00 a.m, but we will try and have the breakfast buffet set up in that room with seating in the other ballrooms.
The morning break on Wednesday, the Wednesday reception, and the two breaks on Thursday will be held in or near the exhibit/display tables. We also recommend you attend all networking opportunities and meals as there is always some time to talk and meet people.
Tear down is scheduled after the afternoon break on Thursday, August 6, around 3:30 p.m. Typical conference times run from 8:00 a.m.-5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, 8:00 a.m.-4:45 p.m. on Thursday, and from 8:00 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. on Friday.
Our best networking events – besides the breaks – are the Texas Shoot-Out on Tuesday, the afternoon reception on Wednesday, and the Awards Dinner on Thursday.
