33rd Annual APPE International Conference Sponsorship and Exhibitor Opportunities

Why should you become a sponsor or exhibit at the APPE Annual Conference? You’ll interact with ethics professionals from around the world, leading to increased brand and name recognition. As a sponsor or exhibitor you’ll have the opportunity to provide attendees with direct links, collateral and information to your product, institution or program.

Sponsorship is also a clear demonstration of the value you place on training the next generation of workers to understand moral reasoning and the consequences of their actions. This support ensures the continuation of valuable programming designed to encourage ethics scholarship, promote ethical conduct in daily life, and facilitate leadership development grounded in strong moral reasoning.

THE DEADLINE FOR SPONSORSHIPS IS JAN. 31, 2024.

Sponsorships

We have sponsorship options from $115 (sponsoring a student’s registration and one-year membership) to $6,000 (the conference communications sponsor) and can also customize something that fits your needs and budget.

Reach out to Kristen Fuhs Wells, APPE Executive Director, for more information at kristen@appe-ethics.org.
