Average cost per vendor if they were to attend every single meeting & sponsor at least one event = less than $2,250 for professional advertising & networking! Of course you can opt to do more but this would cover a minimum.
We couldn't exist without your support and we encourage our engineer members to always use an AAFAME vendor.
