SETDA enjoys a strong relationship with more than 20 leading educational technology companies who support our efforts and activities on an annual basis. Annual sponsorship is a flat annual fee at the Gold and Platinum levels. Through these sponsorship benefits, we accomplish an unmatched public-private collaboration through two in-person conferences, conference calls, email updates, newsletters, special events, and tailored promotions, and focus group sessions that build relationships within the ed tech community.

Annual Sponsorship Opportunities
Gold Level = $16,000
The Gold Level sponsorship provides companies with a very nice, consistent branding vehicle that positions you as a strong supporter of SETDA. Your company will be invited to:
- Send two company executive to each in-person event,
- Receive many updates as well as logo placement on our Website and at our events
- Participate in membership discussions or a focus group session during SETDA’s ET Forum
Branding & Information - Through logo placement at all our events, text link from the Website, attendance for one person at both of our in-person national meetings, as well as periodic updates on advocacy and SETDA activities as appropriate , you are aware of SETDA activities and our members conscientious of your support.
R & D Focus Group - This unique research and development session provides you with 5-10 pre-selected SETDA members who will preview your product and services, answer your questions on implementation ideas, and offer you solid suggestions on how to improve your product’s effectiveness in the K-12 market. Each SETDA member comes to the ET Forum prepared to learn about your product and provide honest feedback on the limitations, challenges, and opportunities it provides to students, teachers and administrators.
Platinum = $30,000
Platinum Sponsorship offers you the branding mentioned above, but it also provides you with many venues to build strong relationships with SETDA members through content discussions. We treat our platinum sponsor representatives like SETDA members when it comes to updates, newsletters, conference call invites, and other activities. As a Platinum Sponsor you will be invited to:
- SETDA’s monthly membership calls
- FETC Leadership dinner
- Assist with tool development as topics of interest to you arise
Special Promotion - Another important difference is that Platinum Sponsors can send three people to each in-person meeting as opposed to two at the Gold level. We also have the option for a “special promotion” which comes at no additional charge to our Platinum Sponsors. This is a way to tailor your sponsorship and get specifically to the goals of your sponsorship. Options include, special focus group during our pre-conference sessions, a conference call with 5 specific state directors to discuss an issue, or individualized options through topic discussions that make sense to our audience.
For information on how your company can become a Gold or Platinum sponsor, please download the description of benefits and contact Jennifer Fritschi, Ph.D., Director of Strategic Partnerships, at jfritschi [at] setda.org or 202-716-6636 x704 with questions. If the annual sponsorships do not suit your company’s needs, SETDA offers event specific opportunities associated with each of our two membership-wide conferences. Additionally, SETDA offers opportunities for your company to be a Tool Funding Partner as we develop specialized tools to benefit state level educators.
