Sponsorship sales will open soon! Check back in coming weeks for more details.

Sponsorship at the Innovations Conference provides:

• A single venue to network with community college and industry leaders
• A place to meet face-to-face with qualified buyers and generate leads
• An opportunity to showcase products or services and launch new wares
• Special events that generate connections, including a welcome reception, all-day coffee and refreshment breaks, an exclusive Express Connections gathering with presidents and vice presidents, and more.

By sponsoring the Innovations Conference, your company gains visibility and access to approximately 800 campus leaders, faculty members, and staff from community colleges across the U.S and beyond.

The League for Innovation’s sponsorship program is designed to provide a broad range of opportunities for exposure and branding as well as the opportunity to showcase thought leadership through speaking opportunities. We will post the sponsorship packages soon. Additionally, we can customize packages to include more of what you need and less of what you don’t.

Make the Most of Your Experience at Innovations 2025

Peer-to-peer selling is a formula that works well at the League’s Innovations Conference.

Make sure team members assigned to your company are (1) registered for this event, and (2) well trained to represent your company, generate leads, and secure sales. Ensure that everyone involved fully understands what needs to be accomplished during the conference.

Attend all sessions and networking events. The best connections are made naturally by interacting as peers. Be sure to spread out your staff and engage with participants throughout the duration of the conference.

Sponsors at the Advocate level or higher have the opportunity to share their expertise and feature their partnerships with community colleges by presenting a concurrent session. Submission criteria apply. Click here for information.

Consider contacting conference participants using the conference app or via email using the participant list. Invite participants to meet up one-on-one at the conference. After the event, use the participant list to send a follow up email to all participants, especially those with whom you connected.

Host a reception for current and potential customers. Invite participants in advance using the conference app or participant list. Set-up fees/venue fees, catering, and AV fees are the sponsor’s responsibility; however, this is a great way to supplement your onsite experience. Space is limited; contact Robin Piccirilli to reserve.

Use online and social marketing opportunities such as webinars, blogs, online videos, Twitter, and Facebook to complement traditional marketing methods before, during, and after the conference.

Send a personalized, handwritten note, along with a customized company information packet or other appropriate material, to participants with whom you connected within a week following the conference to help turn leads into sales.
