Share your higher ed product or service with our 900+ attendees.

For over 20 years, higher ed professionals have turned to the NISTS Conference to improve their support of transfer students. Attendees appreciate being able to access experts in the field, network with peers, and engage in interactive learning experiences like our action-focused workshop.


Please contact Judith Brauer if you have questions or would like to customize your sponsorship package.

Attendees

From building internal and external partnerships to recruitment and retention, our attendees are motivated to improve their transfer students’ experiences and are eager to hear how you can help them and their institutions achieve their goals.


Attendees represent both two-year and four-year institutions and include VP’s, directors, and staff in areas ranging from admissions, advising, enrollment management, orientation, and transition programs to registrar’s offices and transfer centers.


Between our virtual and in-person events over the past two years, more than 900 higher ed professionals attended each year.

Sponsorship Benefits

In-Person and Virtual Options

 

Based on positive attendee response, we will continue to offer both an in-person and virtual event. Most sponsorship packages include access to both, and there are opportunities for visibility and engagement with conference attendees whether you participate in-person, virtually, or both. 

Direct Interactions with Attendees

 

Email attendees before and after each event, provide a bag insert, and interact on-site and in the app. Participate in the virtual event’s competition for prizes to drive traffic to your booth.

Presentation Opportunities

​

Higher sponsorship levels include the opportunity to deliver a live concurrent session (in-person, virtually, or both) to help attendees learn about the value of your product or service to their institutions. 

Access to Decision Makers

​

Over half of our attendees are at the director level or above and have decision-making power in choosing vendors. February is also great timing since most higher ed professionals are deciding how to use fiscal-year-end funds and planning next year's budget.
