Associates & Sponsorships

Embarking on our fifth decade of service and support to students engaged in higher-education across the Commonwealth, VSSC values building key relationships to connect Higher Education professionals with organizations like you whose products and services elevate the overall student experience.

Review the Associate and Sponsorship opportunities below to build your own custom conference experience. We look forward to working with you!

Associate Application

Associates are able to connect with attendees while helping us deliver an exceptional experience.

There are three options for Associates this year: Booth, Table Display, or Promotional Stand.

Sponsorship Program

Each year, VSSC is fortunate to have additional support from many Associates through our Sponsorship Program.  These contributions have been used to offset costs such as our program book, printing, postage, meals, and a/v rentals.  We are grateful for these extra sources of income which help keep attendee costs low.

Sponsors are highlighted in our conference guide and on our website, along with additional branding and speaking opportunities.

Associate Drawing

We welcome contributions of special items to be given away at during our Associates Reception in the Exhibit Hall.  Some examples of past special items include rocking chairs, bottles of wine, and retail store gift cards.

The Associate Drawing Form will be distributed to all registered Associates in mid-October.
