What Our Fantastic Sponsors Say

Sponsorship at the ILA's annual global conference gives us exposure to the top scholars, thought leaders, and executives in the field. We make valuable connections at our booth and see our website traffic increase because of our presence in the conference materials. We're proud to be a part of this world-class event.

Jim Ludema

Director of the Center for Values-Driven Leadership at Benedictine University

Our experience as ILA sponsors was phenomenal. ILA proactively provided us with information in a timely manner and was always quick to respond to our queries and requests. I appreciated how they organized several conference activities in the exhibit hall that resulted in steady booth traffic and allowed us to connect with a variety of attendees.

Maggie Stanley

Acquisitions Editor, SAGE Publications, Inc.

The ILA annual global conference was a resounding success for Emerald. We found it a superbly organized event with great footfall around our Exhibit Booth and many opportunities to engage with delegates about work in progress and new project proposals - all hosted in a wonderful space in a spectacular city.

John Stuart

Book Publisher, Emerald Group Publishing

We have long sponsored receptions during the ILA annual global conference. The receptions have provided us the opportunity to meet new friends interested in learning more about our programs, reconnect with alumni and students, and celebrate the fantastic presentations, work, and scholarship of our community of learners making meaningful change in the world.

Leslee Creighton

Associate Director of Engagement and Special Assistant to the Provost, Graduate School of Leadership and Change, Antioch University

We were pleased to be an ILA annual global conference sponsor. The conference brings together scholars and practitioners who have worked in leadership studies for decades with those who are just starting out in the field. The future of leadership studies depends in large measure on the productive conversations that occur in such friendly and enthusiastic spaces.

Sandra J. Peart

Dean of the Jepson School of Leadership Studies at the University of Richmond

Our program is proud to be a sponsor of ILA's annual global conference. Every time I come home from an ILA global conference, I am again affirmed that our sponsorship was well worth it. Our students and alumni attending the conference find a home away from home at Eastern's booth while we engage with others interested in learning about our PhD program.
