About Sponsoring

Sponsoring Thrive builds visibility for your brand, connects you with educators, and gives you a forum to share your organization’s expertise. Whether you are trying to reach schools at the local or national level, aligning your company with this conference will win your brand valuable exposure to thousands of attendees, including independent school leaders, administrators, and teachers throughout the country.

Sponsorship sales for Thrive 2025 will open soon. Packages include one or more full-conference registrations. Sponsor and exhibitor registration will open later this month.
