SUPPORT THE PEOPLE WHO POWER THE RESALE INDUSTRY

 

Sponsoring NARTS University is an opportunity to directly support the store owners, managers, and team members who keep the resale industry moving while becoming part of an experience designed to move them forward.

Every attendee who comes to NARTS University is investing time, money, and energy to become better at what they do. They are showing up for practical ideas, honest conversations, meaningful connections, and real solutions they can take back to their stores. Your sponsorship helps make that possible.

From the moment attendees arrive on campus to the final session of the conference, every part of the experience is designed with intention. The spaces they gather in, the tools they use, the moments they share, and the experiences that keep them engaged are all part of creating clarity, confidence, and momentum.

These sponsorships are not extras. They are part of how attendees navigate the conference, stay connected, and fully participate in all that NARTS University offers.

Why Sponsor NARTS University?

Because this is more than logo placement.

When you sponsor NARTS University, your brand becomes part of an environment where members feel welcomed, encouraged, and equipped. You are helping create a conference experience where attendees can step away from the demands of daily operations, learn alongside peers who understand their challenges, and return home with ideas they can use right away.

That matters.

The resale industry is built by people doing important work every day, often with limited time, limited resources, and a lot on their shoulders. NARTS University exists to support them with education, connection, and community. Sponsorship helps us deliver that experience in meaningful ways.

What Sponsorship Does For Your Business

Sponsorship gives your company visibility in front of engaged resale professionals who are actively investing in their growth.

All sponsors are recognized across the conference. The difference comes down to the level of visibility and how attendees experience your brand. Some opportunities provide steady presence throughout the weekend. Others connect your brand to a specific, high-impact moment shared by a large portion of attendees.

Whether your support is seen all conference long or tied to one memorable experience, your brand becomes part of something attendees will use, notice, and remember.

A Members First Approach

At NARTS, Members First means creating experiences that help people feel more supported, more capable, and more connected in the work they do.

Your sponsorship helps make that real.

It helps us provide the details that keep the conference running smoothly, the experiences that make people feel welcomed, and the resources that allow attendees to focus on learning, connecting, and growing.

By sponsoring NARTS University, you are not just gaining visibility. You are contributing to an experience that strengthens stores, supports teams, and moves the industry forward one store, one owner, and one team member at a time.

How Can You Sponsor?

We’ve created a range of sponsorship opportunities designed to fit different budgets while still providing meaningful visibility and connection with our members. From high-impact, conference-wide experiences to smaller, practical items used throughout the event, each option plays a role in supporting the overall experience.

Here’s what we’re currently looking for:

• Conference-wide experiences that bring everyone together
• Everyday items attendees use throughout the event
• Support for learning spaces and educational sessions
• Contributions that enhance Field Study and in-store experiences

Every sponsorship is designed to be useful, intentional, and aligned with how attendees move through the conference.

Have another idea?

If you have a product, service, or creative way to support the event that isn’t listed, we’d love to hear it. Some of the best ideas come from partners who understand the day-to-day needs of resale stores and see an opportunity to add value in a thoughtful way.

If it helps our members feel more supported, more connected, or more prepared to take action when they return home, it’s worth the conversation.

Reach out and let’s build something that fits.
