ALTA49 Advertising and Sponsorships
Our 49th annual conference will take place in person in Portland, Oregon from October 21-24, 2026, offering sponsors exposure to an international audience of 400-500 attendees.
Advertising in the digital and print program book, ensuring your name or logo is visible to attendees, or becoming a sponsor are great ways to promote your press, magazine, university program, organization, or service to translators, authors, editors, publishers, teachers, students, and others working in literary translation.
Organizational members of ALTA receive 20% off promotional level sponsorships and advertisements in the conference program book, and 50% off certain sponsored special events. Learn more today.

ALTA conference special events draw the largest concentrations of conference-goers together, providing the best way to get lots of focused exposure to our audience. Special event sponsorships provide you with visibility at events such as our evening receptions, twice-daily coffee breaks, themed trivia night, cocktail receptions, and more. Your name/organization will be listed as the sponsor on all publicity materials promoting the featured event, as well as on signage during the event, and in a shout-out on social media. These collaborations are determined on an individual basis. Sample opportunities are listed below.
Panel & Coffee Break ($6,000): This sponsorship gives you dedicated audience exposure during a conference session, plus a chance to display your books or materials during a coffee break—and most importantly, a dedicated networking opportunity focused on your group. Comes with up to four full-price registration waivers for your panelists (a $1,540 value), a half-page ad in the program book (a $300 value), the benefits of Promotional Level 4 (a $500 value), complimentary A/V, and organizational support from ALTA. For an additional $1,000, ALTA staff will design and program your panel based on your vision (working with you to select a topic, identifying and inviting speakers, etc.).
Sponsored Panel ($3,500): This sponsorship gives you dedicated audience exposure during a conference session. Comes with up to four full-price registration waivers for your panelists (a $1,540 value), complimentary A/V, the benefits of Promotional Level 4 (a $500 value), and organizational support from ALTA.
Coffee Break ($2,500): Coffee Breaks are the primary networking event during the conference day. All conference attendees gather in this area, where there is coffee and tea provided during a dedicated 30-minute break twice during the conference day. This sponsorship gives you a chance to display your books or materials during a coffee break—and most importantly, a dedicated networking opportunity focused on your group, with lots of caffeinated goodwill from conference attendees. Comes with the benefits of Promotional Level 4 (a $500 value).
Translation Trivia ($2,500): Translation Trivia is a favorite offsite event at ALTA conferences! Conference attendees meet in a bar to compete, answering questions written just for literary translators. It typically takes place on the first evening of the conference and attracts a large crowd eager to make merry and “nerd out” as we celebrate our craft. This sponsorship comes with the option to have a round of trivia questions written for your group/organization/press, along with the benefits of Promotional Level 4 (a $500 value).
Reception (starting at $1,500): The ALTA conference always features evening receptions after the day’s panels are over. By sponsoring this event, you can include limited programming organized or directed by your organization. This is a great way to spotlight a publication, organization, or celebratory mile marker. Comes with the benefits of Promotional Level 4 (a $500 value). Actual cost may vary depending on the sponsor’s desired location, food service, and whether drink tickets will be provided. (For instance, drink tickets for 100 people costs an additional ~$1150, A/V for a reading in the hotel costs an additional ~$750, etc.)
The deadline for sponsored special events is July 30, 2026. Receptions and Coffee Breaks are limited; please contact Kelsi Vanada to secure your sponsorship today.
