SPONSORSHIPS

Opening Event Sponsor

Held at the end of day one, the Opening Event is designed to set the tone of TCEA 2025 and get attendees excited for what’s to come. This is not the traditional featured presentation and will be designed to entertain and engage the attendees.

You will receive sponsor recognition, be able to provide a seat drop (optional), address the audience for two to three (2-3) minutes, and introduce the speaker. Includes a table in the room to display products or marketing materials. Up to three representatives are invited to attend.

Keynote Sponsor

The TCEA Keynotes are the the most popular events of the entire convention. We bring in exciting speakers that draw the largest crowds outside of the exhibit hall, so you can be sure that this sponsorship opportunity will allow you to get in front of one of the largest gathering of attendees during the whole week.

You will receive recognition during the opening presentation, be able to provide a seat drop (optional), address the audience for two to three (2-3) minutes, and introduce the speaker. This opportunity also includes a 6′ table (size based on availability) in the room for you to display products or marketing materials. You will be allowed to bring up to three representatives from your company to assist in this sponsorship.

Keynotes will be on Sunday, Feb. 2 and Wednesday, Feb. 5. Sponsor one, or both!

Leadership Academy

The Leadership Academy is new for 2025. This is a add-on event designed just for the campus and district leaders who attend TCEA, and want to dive even deeper into the topics that matter to them. This day and a half Academy will run parallel to the rest of the Convention programming and offer exclusive content and speakers just for this group. (As well as plenty of time for them to visit the exhibit hall.)

This sponsorship will allow you to address the group for 2-3 minutes as well as be recognized as the sponsor during the Leadership Academy. This opportunity also includes a 6′ table (size based on availability) in the area for you to display products or marketing materials. You will be allowed to bring up to three representatives from your company to assist in this sponsorship and talk to the Academy attendees.

The Leadership Academy will be on Monday, Feb. 3.

Volunteer Sponsor

Without our volunteers, the TCEA Convention & Exposition would not run as smooth and efficiently as it does. They help us scan attendees into sessions, monitor static areas, and assist with ensuring that our attendees are having the best experience possible. 

Show your support of these people as the exclusive Volunteer Sponsor. As the sponsor, you will get your logo/message on every volunteer shirt, your logo on the signage at the volunteer check-in area, recognition on the volunteer page on the website, and a banner/logo on every email communication we send to volunteers leading up to the event.

Receive two (2) seats to attend the dinner, three (3) minutes to speak to this group of influential leaders in education, and one (1) seat drop and/or content for a follow-up email to be sent to all guests after convention.

Name Badge Lanyard

Your logo will be printed on the badge lanyards given to every TCEA 2025 attendee. That means every attendee will see your brand at all times during the convention.

Price is inclusive of lanyard and printing costs.

Convention Bag

The Convention Bag is very popular amongst our attendees and available to each registrant when they pick up their badge. They typically use this bag throughout the week as they pick up handouts in sessions and pick up freebies and flyers in the exhibit hall.

Each bag is adorned with Convention artwork on one side and your branding on the other. You will also have the opportunity to provide a bag insert if desire. (Logo-ed promo items tend to be the most popular with our attendees.)

Water Activation Station + Water Bottle

We introduced this activation back in 2020 and it was an immediate hit! Each attendee was given an infuser water bottle and was allowed to fill it with fruit, herbs, and water at specified times/days during the duration of the Convention.

This sponsorship includes the infuser water bottle with TCEA branding on one side and your branding on the other. The water activation station will provide fruit and water at specified times throughout the conference. You may have a representative at the station during peak times and provide promotional materials from your company at the station. The activation signage will include your logo to indicate your company as the sponsor.

Give attendees the convention center brand journey you want them to have. Check out various branding locations around the convention center and pick and choose what’s right for you. Contact Sammy Unberhagen for more information.
