2023 NBDA National Conference
Reconnecting to Thrive Together: Reconnect, Recharge, Thrive!
August 8-13, 2023
Sheraton Birmingham Hotel
Birmingham, Alabama

We invite you to become a sponsor for the 30th NBDA National Conference, which will be held on August 8-13, 2023 at Sheraton Birmingham Hotel in Birmingham, Alabama.  There are various sponsorship levels to meet your individual and/or organizations’ capacity.  Every dollar matters so we thank you for your giving!

The conference also coincides with the Collegiate Black Deaf Student Leadership Institute and Youth Empowerment Summit (Y.E.S!) as the nation’s only summer leadership camp for Black Deaf youths.

The conference offers multiple sponsorship options that yield two important outcomes—marketing and promoting programs or services for your organization and providing tangible support for the conference programs. We anticipate a diverse group of Deaf, hard-of-hearing, hearing, educators, parents, activists, senior citizens, CODAs, high school and college students, service providers, interpreters, allies and other interested individuals. Your support will help defray conference costs and made NBDA a better conference experience for all attendees.
