Why sponsor ACR-GNY's Annual Conference?

Our Annual Conference is our marquee event, comprising four days of conflict resolution programming presented by a diverse group of speakers covering topics from the full conflict resolution spectrum, including but not limited to: business/commercial, community, restorative justice, societal, peacebuilding, organizational, governmental, coaching, consulting, and interpersonal issues. We additionally welcome sessions on relevant skills and practice, marketing, and career building to meet our members' needs in a holistic way.

Your sponsorship helps ACR-GNY to produce this annual event, but also provides funds that support our broader work throughout the year, such as providing monthly educational programming, networking opportunities, and public awareness of and advocacy for the practice of conflict resolution in addressing our communities' most pressing conflicts. Sponsors also support our outreach to students and allow us to offer scholarships to conflict resolution practitioners who are working as volunteers or just starting out.

Thanks to ACR-GNY’s recent Google Ads Grant, valued at up to $10,000 per month in free advertising, we are now able to significantly increase visibility for both our events and our organization. This means that more conflict resolution professionals — and those seeking their services — will be directed to our website during the months of conference promotions, where your logo, links, and messaging will also gain additional exposure. Sponsoring ACR-GNY's Annual Conference not only supports our mission but also amplifies your organization’s visibility to a highly targeted and engaged audience through this new advertising channel.

No matter your budget, we have a sponsorship that is right for you. We are also open to customized packages - just ask us!
