  PONL Conference Sponsorship Opportunities are Now Available

  On behalf of the Pennsylvania Organization of Nurse Leaders (PONL), we are excited to welcome your company as a sponsor for our Annual Nursing Leadership Conference, held October 1-2, 2026, at the Hilton Harrisburg in Harrisburg, PA. Next year’s event will feature cutting-edge topics critical to the success of today’s nursing leaders, with presentations by renowned experts and thought leaders who will inspire attendees to explore innovative approaches to workplace challenges.

  You are encouraged to select from the various sponsorship opportunities outlined in this prospectus. Each year, we aim to make the conference bigger and better than before.

  PONL’s 800+ members represent a diverse range of roles, from frontline nurse managers to senior executives, including CNOs and COOs from large multisystem organizations across Pennsylvania. Supporting PONL provides unparalleled access to key nurse leaders and decision-makers within these facilities.

  The PONL Annual Nursing Leadership Conference offers numerous opportunities for sponsors to connect and network with attendees. By becoming a sponsor, you can enhance the visibility of your business, organization, product, or service among Pennsylvania’s nurse leaders. Please review the Sponsorship Opportunities and choose the level that aligns best with your goals.

  Please note that we fully encourage networking with all of our attendees and we work hard to be sure they connect with you throughout the conference. That said, we do not allow direct sales of merchandise on the exhibit floor during the conference. We assume that no vendor registering to attend has this intention. Any attempt to do so onsite will ensure that your exhibitor status will be null and void and you will be asked to leave. If you have any questions regarding this, please reach out to the PONL Office at admin@ponl.net. 

  We greatly appreciate your consideration and look forward to your participation in advancing our mission. Thank you for supporting PONL!

  If you require an invoice to pay by check - please register and then click "Initiate Invoice" at the end of the registration. 

  Please contact the PONL Office if you need assistance with this process at admin@ponl.net
