Conference & Stage Expo
Sponsors Flock to Support Charlotte Events
Cooper Controls is the newest sponsor for the Closing Night Celebration Saturday, March 12 at the end of the Charlotte 2011 Conference and Stage Expo. The celebration will replace the traditional awards banquet. This relaxed evening will wrap up the event with an evening of entertainment, finger foods, and cash bar. Disney Parks Creative Entertainment has already agreed to sponsor the event, and three additional spots are available.
