2026 Conference Sponsorship
Navigating Rough Waters
For many years, professional women in higher education in Virginia have gathered to network, collaborate, and share information at the Virginia Network’s annual conference. This year’s conference will take place on Friday June 5th, 2026, at Fuse at Mason Square, Fairfax, Virginia. The Virginia Network conference annually draws 350-400 women in higher education and provides an exciting opportunity to discuss what matters most to women leaders in higher education. Each year the annual conference allows us to gather, network, collaborate, and learn from each other.
We are affiliated with the national ACE’s Women’s Network and our mission is to identify, develop, advance, and support women in higher education at the national, state, and local levels. Most states have "networks" and Virginia's is particularly active. This year, we are hoping you will join us as a sponsor. The annual conference provides a unique opportunity for you to increase your visibility while building relationships and supporting the diverse array of women in higher education across the Commonwealth. Sponsorship offers an array of benefits for Virginia’s Blue Ridge and will provide scholarship support for additional women and graduate students to attend and defray some of the conference’s expenses.
This year’s theme is Navigating Rough Waters.
Sponsorship levels are as follows:
Gold Sponsor ($3,000)
Silver Sponsor ($2,000)
Bronze Sponsor ($1,000)
Partner Sponsor ($250 - $999)
