Encoura National Conference + Eduventures Summit
2027 SPONSOR PROSPECTUS
We invite you to join us for Encoura’s annual summer conference programming. Now in its 41st year, our conference experiences are anticipated to bring together more than 1000 higher education professionals and experts in the field.
MULTIPLY YOUR HIGHER ED BRAND PRESENCE WITH TWO EVENTS
For the first time, the Encoura National Conference (previously the Encoura + RNL National Conference) and the Eduventures Summit – higher education’s premier thought leadership event – will be held back-to-back during the same week and in the same venue. This gives sponsors like you a unique and valuable opportunity to participate in two coordinated but distinct events for higher education leaders.
The purpose behind connecting these conferences sequentially is to bring whole higher ed teams together – starting with the macro issues impacting the industry, then leading into the strategies transforming campuses today – to empower college and university leaders across the country with a holistic approach to achieving their goals and institutional missions.
LEADING THE FUTURE OF HIGHER ED
A higher education leadership summit bringing together forward-thinking leaders to explore the ideas, challenges, and opportunities shaping what’s ahead.
HIGHER ED IN ACTION
Gather with higher ed leaders and experts to discover strategies, solutions, and insights you can put to work at your institution.
As a sponsor, you will have access and brand visibility to leaders in enrollment management, student success, and advancement, including:
- Presidents and provosts
- Chief enrollment officers
- Vice presidents
- Directors of admission and financial aid
- Enrollment deans
- Campus marketing professionals
- Directors of student success/retention
- Directors of advancement and development
