2026 NAIS Thrive Highlights
Sponsor and Exhibit
Become a Sponsor
Sponsoring Thrive builds visibility for your brand, connects you with educators, and gives you a forum to share your organization’s expertise. Whether you are trying to reach schools at the local or national level, aligning your company with this conference will win your brand valuable exposure to thousands of attendees, including independent school leaders, administrators, and teachers throughout the country.
Become an Exhibitor
Exhibiting at Thrive offers an excellent way to gain in-person access to the independent school community and its leaders. Exhibiting opportunities are offered within The Quad at Thrive, where attendees gather for resources, programming, networking, lunch and coffee breaks, and more!
