Our attendees spend an average of 4-5 days at Convergence® and with your sponsorship you will have a captive audience of fiber art enthusiasts. We expect 2,000 people to attend our 2024 Convergence® in Wichita, Kansas. Not only will your sponsorship put your business in front of those attending Convergence®, but through e-blasts, our website and social media platforms your business will be marketed to more than 10,000 people and guilds interested in fiber art products and services. We have created Convergence® sponsorship packages for the:
  • Fashion Show
  • Tote Bags & Lanyards
