Featured event Sponsorships (deadline: July 1, 2024)

ALTA conferences offer a variety of featured programming. These special events draw the largest concentrations of conference-goers together, providing the best way to get lots of focused exposure to our audience. These collaborations are determined on an individual basis, and start at $1,500. Featured 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. Sample opportunities are listed below. Featured sponsorship slots are first-come, first-served; we encourage you to get in touch early!

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 $1,400 value), a half-page ad in the program book (a $250 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.).

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).

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.)

Translation Trivia ($2,500): Translation Trivia is our annual pub quiz, held on the first evening of the conference, with questions related specifically to literary translation! By sponsoring this event, you help translators connect with each other during the hour and a half event, and set the tone for a fun and congenial conference! This sponsorship gives you a chance to display your books or materials, and a round of trivia questions can even be tailored to feature your organization or press. Actual cost depends on whether the sponsor chooses to cover any food or drinks (optional).
