Corporate sponsorships


An employer speaks with 2022 SVB participants

There are tremendous opportunities for those corporate members who participate, including:

  • Networking with a diverse population of students and providing early exposure to your company
  • Getting your company's name and logo out in front of students (even those not attending the conference through advertising for the conference)
  • Personal development opportunity to enhance your own leadership skills by attending the seminar
  • Helping the students that you might potentially hire obtain the skills they need prior to coming to work at your company

Participant feedback

  • 95% of 2021 participants agreed or strongly agreed that they learned new aspects of business and future potential career pathways.
