Sponsorships, Ads & Exhibits

.

NCIL is pleased to announce sponsorship, advertising, and exhibiting opportunities for our 2025 Annual Conference on Independent Living.

This year’s theme is LEVEL UP: Building Tomorrow Together. It is a powerful reminder that advancing disability rights, justice, and Independent Living requires both individual dedication and collective effort.

Sponsors, advertisers, and exhibitors are a crucial part of NCIL’s 2025 Annual Conference on Independent Living.

We find ourselves in challenging times, and your support matters now more than ever.

Your contribution actively creates the space people with disabilities use to create change. With your support, we will strategize and organize to create a future in which people with disabilities are truly valued and included equally – building tomorrow together every step of the way.  

If you are interested in sponsorship opportunities, fill out the commitment form or email Jenny Sichel at jenny@ncil.org with any questions.
