Sponsors, Exhibitors, & Publishers
34th Annual APPE International Conference Sponsorship and Exhibitor Opportunities
Why should you become a sponsor or exhibit at the APPE Annual Conference? You’ll interact with ethics professionals from around the world, leading to increased brand and name recognition. As a sponsor or exhibitor you’ll have the opportunity to provide attendees with direct links, collateral and information to your product, institution or program.
By sponsoring and advertising, you're also clearly demonstrating the value you place on the continuation of valuable programming designed to encourage ethics scholarship, promote ethical conduct in daily life, and facilitate leadership development grounded in thoughtful moral reasoning.
THE DEADLINE FOR SPONSORSHIPS, EXHIBITORS, AND AD SPACE IS JAN. 15, 2025
Sponsorships
We have sponsorship options from $115 (sponsoring a student’s registration and one-year membership) to $6,000 (the conference communications sponsor) and can also customize something that fits your needs and budget.
Reach out to Kristen Fuhs Wells, APPE Executive Director, for more information at kristen@appe-ethics.org.
