Why be a sponsor for the NCHC Annual Conference?

The NCHC Annual Conference is a national gathering of high-achieving students, faculty, and administrators that are passionate about educating - and becoming - tomorrow's leaders. Attendees from nearly every state and several international countries enjoy a broad range of research presentations, workshops, and networking events over 4 days in an exciting hub city.

Thought Leaders and Decision Makers

The NCHC is a growing community of educators who are committed to honors education in all forms. NCHC conference attendees are comprised of nearly equal parts honors directors, deans, and faculty and high achieving honors students. Many of the honors directors and deans either are the decision-maker or are highly influential in the decision-making process for their institutions. The students who attend the NCHC conference are among the most talented and most highly motivated youth in the country, the kind of individuals who will soon become decision makers in their own right.

Unparalleled Networking Opportunities

Our members attend the NCHC conference for one primary reason: networking. There is no other national event like the NCHC Annual Conference for honors educators to come together and collaborate on what works in honors education. Our conference attendees actively seek new strategies and directions to help create programs worthy of the students who enroll.

The Biggest Event of the Year

Each fall, the members of the NCHC gather at a four-day showcase of the best honors has to offer. Honors educators and students flock to this event for a rich variety of workshops and presentations, as well as the opportunity to interact and exchange ideas with others involved in honors. The NCHC conference captures a very unique audience of the nation’s top academics and scholars. Students and professionals alike come to each annual event seeking information about new innovations and opportunities.
