2026 Sponsorship Opportunities

We are delighted to invite you to partner with the Sports Lawyers Association through our 2026 Year-Round Sponsorship Program.

Following the extraordinary success of our 50th Anniversary Conference in Nashville, which drew record breaking attendance, and our sold out Fall Symposium in London, SLA is building on this momentum with a full calendar of programming designed to engage sports law professionals worldwide. This year’s theme—Going Beyond the Game: Growing the Landscape of Sport—underscores the expanding role of sports law across industries and communities.

A year-round sponsorship ensures your brand is visible not only at the 51st Annual Conference in Chicago (May 13-16, 2026), but also across SLA's ongoing initiatives—including webinars, publications, networking events, and the 2026 Fall Symposium in Boston, MA.

Our prospectus highlights available opportunities, but it only scratches the surface. We welcome the chance to collaborate with you on tailored sponsorship options that align with your goals and maximize impact throughout the year.

We look forward to exploring these opportunities with you and ensuring your involvement leaves a lasting impression across the SLA community.
