Why Sponsor?
CWA conferences bring together executive directors, board members, program decision-makers, and workforce partners from across California. Sponsoring Meeting of the Minds puts your organization directly in front of the leaders who shape workforce policy and investment statewide.
Every package includes an exhibit hall booth, conference access, and recognition in the digital program. Higher tiers unlock marketing placements, reserved seating, guaranteed workshops, and more. Multi-conference discounts are available for organizations sponsoring both MMM and WorkCon.
