Become a sponsor and maximize your visibility, distinguish yourself from the competition and significantly increase your overall show success. View our complete list of sponsorship opportunities here.
Our tiered level sponsorships are the most inclusive, with content opportunities and an array of marketing entitlements that help you to stand out as a key-player. Sponsorship at these levels truly is a partnership — as you come alongside CCSA to further the charter school movement in California and beyond. The number of benefits that you can choose is based on your partnership level. The higher your level of partnership, the more entitlements you can choose.
All levels of sponsorship provide you the opportunity to exhibit within the Sponsor Circle which is located right inside the exhibit hall entrance. Location, location, location!
We offer a number of Package Sponsorships that are easy on the budget but still provide a lot of visibility. The Headshot station, Wellness massage area, Coffee Breaks and Regional Meetings are always popular. This year, we’ve also added Teacher Summit, Puppy Playground, and Bookstore Café sponsorships.
You can find all of these - and more - in the Sponsorship Brochure.
Feel free to reach out to our team with any questions. We’re happy to create a custom package that matches your marketing goals.
