Mailing Labels

Premier- and Diamond-level sponsors will receive pre- and post-event electronic mailing labels for a one-time use.

Post-event mailing labels are available to purchase. The full set of attendee mailing labels will be $750. If you are only interested in targeting particular states, those specific lists are $75 per state.

Download the mailing label order form.

NOTE: Scammers will often target exhibitors/sponsors pretending to be selling mailing labels for GFOA conference attendees. We will NOT contact you directly to sell mailing labels. DO NOT share credit card information if you are solicited to purchase.
