Sponsor the Leaders of Color Institute

A series of national symposiums being held in Utah, New York, Washington, and Texas.

AATE’s Leaders of Color Institute (LOCI) is a space for arts professionals and administrators who will lead or are currently leading artistic organizations, programs and schools. This dedicated space only for people of color will provide professional development opportunities that include peer exchange and leadership skill development. It is also an opportunity to share your work, successes, and challenges and make new connections with potential collaborators. The LOCI will help shape the next generation of the arts to better reflect the communities’ present.  If you would like to sponsor or have any questions, please contact Alexis Truitt at [email protected]. For more information on the Sponsorship opportunities, please go HERE.

National Conference Exhibits & Sponsorships 

One of the highlights of every AATE National Conference is the exhibit hall. Our exhibit hall is unlike any other as it is small enough that attendees get to spend time at every booth yet large enough to give attendees access to a wide array of products and services. In addition, we arrange for incentives for attendees to visit each booth such as our exhibitor reception and "Trivia Scavenger Hunt” promotion. Exhibits are located on the conference floor where most all‐conference events and food/coffee will be located. Exhibitors therefore have a unique opportunity to interact with delegates as they move through the conference areas. The exhibit hall is open for the first two days of Conference to give maximum exposure within a limited time frame. For Exhibit Booth rates and details, head to page 4 of the Conference Prospectus.
