Sponsorship

If you’re like us, you get a lot out of being a part of the jewelry industry. We’d like to offer you an opportunity to give a little bit back—by helping to sponsor the Santa Fe Symposium®.

Why the Symposium is So Important—Since 1987, the Santa Fe Symposium® has provided our industry with a forum for the exchange of information in a spirit of education. The future of our industry is dependent on our ability to build on knowledge and to have wide access to that knowledge. More than any resource in the world, the Santa Fe Symposium provides such access. Many improved products and processes are the result of people using information first reported at the Symposium. The Santa Fe Symposium has encouraged and set the standard for more and better-quality technical forums. Our published Proceedings book has provided information for manufacturing jewelers everywhere.

Why Sponsors Are Essential—The Santa Fe Symposium® is a not-for-profit endeavor. Sponsorships and donations play a key role in helping the Symposium reach its primary goal: to exchange technological knowledge and information for the benefit of the industry. As a sponsor, you can help us to continue to raise the bar and, in the process, enjoy significant short- and long-term benefits.

Put Your Name Top-of-Mind with Santa Fe Symposium® Attendees—Attendees of the Santa Fe Symposium® are decision-makers in the most progressive and fastest growing companies manufacturing jewelry today. They are ardent endorsers of the Symposium—some have made annual attendance a provision in their employment contracts. Attendees express appreciation for our sponsors and show preference toward those who help support the Symposium. Many are passionate about the continuation of the Santa Fe Symposium and know that your generous sponsorship helps make it possible.
