WHY SHOULD YOU BECOME AN EXHIBITOR AND/OR SPONSOR?
Sponsorship of California State PTA’s signature community-building event, Convention 2025, is a meaningful investment in our mission to advocate for all children’s education and well-being. Sponsors help cover the costs of our largest annual gathering and the ongoing work we do to provide quality training, innovative resources, and valuable connections as state leaders for more than 3,100 PTA units and 565,000 members across California. These partnerships signify a deep commitment to the broader community as your contribution directly supports fostering a brighter future for all children through collaboration among families and schools.
As such, sponsorship comes with a variety of exclusive benefits including premier exhibitor packages and booth placement as well as unique marketing and engagement opportunities before, during, and after convention to maximize your visibility and impact. Sponsorship benefits are tailored at each level to best suit your needs and we offer a range of packages to fit every budget. We invite you to consider these opportunities and begin a long-term relationship with California State PTA.
