The 2026 AFA Summit will attract nearly 400 practitioners, policy makers, and experts for a two-day program of plenaries, workshops, and networking. As a small but nimble organization, AFA relies on sponsors to make convenings like the Summit possible. We offer many ways for supporters of apprenticeship to participate in the conference as sponsors.
Presenting Sponsorships: Presenting sponsors are central to AFA’s 2026 Summit. Through branding, event materials, and direct messaging, these sponsors are visible to all those in attendance, as well as AFA’s many members.
Program Sponsorships: The Summit will host a wide array of exciting programs including plenary presentations, interactive workshops, and a first-ever awards ceremony. Each event aligns with a theme that reflects AFA's goals and aspirations for the coming year and beyond, providing sponsors a unique opportunity to hone their messaging.
Social Sponsorships: In addition to the focus on policy and practice, the Summit will have plenty of opportunities for networking and socializing. Sponsors can effectively engage with apprenticeship experts and advocates in these more relaxed settings.
Showcase Sponsorship: AFA knows there are many innovative tools and resources being developed by members of our apprenticeship community. During the Summit, AFA will offer organizations and individuals an opportunity to connect with attendees directly via a dedicated presentation space at various Summit events.
If you or your organization is interested in becoming a sponsor, please contact Ethan Kenvarg (ethan.kenvarg@afamail.org), Membership & Events Consultant, to learn more.
