Are you looking to Market to the Higher Education Fire & Safety Community?

CCFS is offering Sponsors and Affiliate Members the opportunity to produce a 15 minute video series presenting your technology, installation tips, compliance with codes/standards, or more. We’re open to your ideas too. The Video (s) will be shown on-line in a webinar setting, and available on our website for downloading, along with your contact details and up to two pieces of appropriate literature as well. Depending upon the series/topic you can choose to do one, or a series on a weekly or monthly basis, but no more than one per week. The Campus Coffee Break series will be marketed for you by CCFS to our database of 17,000 and also to our non-profit fire safety partners groups. Video(s) will be archived in a library on our website and promoted in our newsletter and home page. This is a great marketing opportunity, especially where in-person visits are limited. We will not charge for members or non-members to attend your coffee break presentation.

It's easy - we promote and market your coffee break - you present - we moderate - archive on our website for all viewers
