Sponsor or Exhibit at EAST Conference 2026

Where Innovation and Collaboration Come to Life

EAST Conference is where students passionate about technology and community problem-solving shine. They are changemakers using real tools to solve real problems and create measurable impact.

As a sponsor, you’re investing in future leaders, engineers, designers, and entrepreneurs. Your support expands access to education and fuels opportunities for students to explore, innovate, and thrive.

Sponsorship is more than financial: it’s a partnership in shaping tomorrow’s workforce, with packages that offer recognition and brand visibility to an audience focused on educational and technological advancement.

As an exhibitor, you’ll gain direct access to over 3,000 attendees: students, educators, and community leaders. This is your chance to connect with students already working with industry-relevant tools and careers.

Go BEYOND THE BOOTH

We’re inviting exhibitors to move beyond swag and brochures. Instead, create an experience. Whether it’s a mini design challenge, hands-on product demo, or a skill-based activity using technology that aligns with students’ classroom experience, make your booth a destination for exploration.

Where Today’s Students Become Tomorrow’s Innovators

Ask yourself:

  • How can we help students visualize themselves in our field?
  • What hands-on activity can give them a taste of a real-world career?
  • How can we guide them toward the degrees or certifications our industry needs?

This is your chance to connect with students who are already fluent in the tech your team uses every day.

Need help brainstorming how your booth can be interactive, we would love to help. Contact development@eaststaff.org so we can help you explore interactive elements that fit your industry and company.
