The Sigma Tau Delta Convention is the event for students and scholars who are passionate about the English language, literature, and writing. This year, over 1,500 of the brightest minds from universities around the globe will gather in New Orleans for four unforgettable days of inspiration, networking, and discovery.
And your organization can be at the heart of it.
Why Sponsor?
This is your chance to connect with high-achieving students, emerging professionals, and dedicated educators—many of whom are actively seeking opportunities in publishing, graduate education, media, communications, and beyond.
What Our Sponsors Say
“The convention organizers took great care of Norton as a sponsor, ensuring that we had everything we needed for a successful experience!”—Ailyn Del Rio, W. W. Norton & Co.
Ailyn, a Sigma Tau Delta member now working at W. W. Norton & Co., praised the convention for creating a space where Norton could thrive. At the event, Norton was able to connect directly with those who appreciate meaningful literature.
“It felt like a reunion with people I had never met before.”—Arlan Hess, City Books
Arlan joined Sigma Tau Delta as a student, returned as a professor, and now participates as a sponsor. She called the convention a “restorative experience” where she was able to connect deeply with people who care about literature and storytelling as much as she does.
Whether you’re showcasing your programming, recruiting students for graduate study, selling books, or building awareness of your organization, the Sigma Tau Delta convention is the perfect audience—engaged, curious, and ready to participate.
