SOTA Sponsorship

SOTA 2026, October 27-29
Sacramento, California

By participating as a sponsor, you are promoting inclusive postsecondary education for students with intellectual disability (ID) and expanding opportunities for students, families, educators and policymakers. By defraying the costs of the conference, sponsors make the experience accessible to a wider range of attendees. SOTA Conference sponsorship funding enables SOTA to keep registration costs down for all attendees and allows conference organizers to grant attendance scholarships to self-advocates and their families who need them.

New this year! For SOTA 2026 we’re introducing “Named Sponsorships,” tailored sponsorship opportunities that better align with the conference experience, offering sponsors enhanced visibility tied directly to the areas of the conference they support. Also new this year are combined SOTA and IPSE Association sponsorship package options.
