HLC’s Annual Conference Exhibitor Program responds to high attendee demand for a carefully selected representation of companies and organizations that focus on serving the higher education community. Conference attendees are a diverse and influential group of higher education professionals, and they come to discuss current issues and recommended practices by participating in professional development workshops and programs. The conference is among the largest events of its kind in higher education.
Exhibitors have opportunities to engage with attendees by:
- Sponsoring the conference
- Purchasing a booth in the Virtual Exhibit Hall
- Hosting a showcase presentation during the General Program
- Make connections with attendees through the live event and afterward
