IDEAL Conference Sponsors and Vendors
The IDEAL Conference is accepting sponsor and vendor registrations for April 4-6, 2024, in Indianapolis, Indiana. Presented by Indiana University, in partnership with the National Conference on Race and Ethnicity (NCORE), the conference provides a regional forum for critical exchange of resources, best practices, and research on the social and political landscape of diversity, equity, inclusion, and access in higher education.
The three-day conference will host 600 participants and feature three nationally recognized keynote speakers, reviews, poster sessions, and additional sessions for dialogue and sharing.
As a sponsor, you’ll receive recognition for your support and the opportunity to meet with attendees and leaders to share more about your company and how you support institutions of higher education. Sponsors and vendors can promote and engage with attendees and leaders across the Midwest, gaining visibility and building your brand.
All sponsors and vendors will receive 10’X10’ booth space with a table and two chairs during the vendor fair. The vendor schedule is:
