EdPro NextGen Leadership
Program Sponsorship

Sponsor a branded cohort of up to 20 participants (Team “Insert Your Company Here”), directly contributing to their leadership development by subsidizing the cost of the program. Your support makes it possible for these rising leaders to participate in this transformational experience. Throughout the program, you’ll engage with participants in virtual activities and play an active role at the in-person Leadership Summit, fostering meaningful connections and helping shape the future of higher education procurement.

Position one of your senior executives as an active participant in the program, contributing to discussions and leadership activities. As a participant, your representative will receive the dual certificate and attendance at the Leadership Summit alongside their member peers!  This is a great opportunity to invest in someone’s leadership development, and a great way to develop deep insights into the educational market through co-participation in the program with procurement leaders.

Showcase your organization’s thought leadership by collaborating on a speaker series tailored to your expertise. This unique opportunity allows you to contribute creatively to the program’s curriculum, while amplifying your impact across E&I’s broader membership. The speaker series is not limited to the program and will be made available to all E&I members!

Take an active, hands-on role in the capstone Leadership Summit by engaging with the entire cohort and building authentic connections through exclusive networking opportunities. As a sponsor, you’ll have unique opportunities to meet directly with your sponsored cohort group, while also having opportunities to engage with other participants.

Sponsors will also contribute to impactful leadership sessions, which may include panel discussions, guided dialogues, content-specific workshops, and other interactive formats designed to foster collaboration and innovation.

Additionally, you’ll sponsor a keynote speaker or guest session facilitator, further enhancing your organization’s visibility and influence within both the program and the broader higher education community.

Achieve prominent visibility as a key sponsor across all program and Leadership Summit materials, including digital campaigns and E&I communications. Your brand will be consistently featured throughout the program, with dedicated cohort branding that reinforces your organization’s support at every stage of the participants’ journey.

Sponsors will also receive formal recognition during key moments at the Summit, ensuring your organization’s impact is both seen and celebrated by the cohort and broader audience. Your brand will also be recognized on E&I’s website for the duration of the program.
