2027 INA Annual Convention Sponsorship Opportunities
Reach the People Who Shape Every Story in Iowa
Every week, Iowa’s newspapers publish thousands of stories that inform, connect, and strengthen communities across the state. The people who write those stories, run those newsrooms, and lead those businesses gather once a year at the Iowa Newspaper Association Annual Convention and this is your opportunity to be front and center when they do.
The INA convention is unlike any other event in Iowa. Our 225 member newspapers represent the fabric of local news in Iowa. From family-owned weeklies to regional dailies, they include the owners, publishers, editors, advertising directors, and reporters who are the decision-makers and influencers in their communities. These aren’t passive attendees. They’re the people their neighbors trust, the voices that define local conversation, and the business leaders who help shape how their communities grow.
Year after year, our convention consistently brings together more than 400 of these leaders in one room. Add to that more than 100 journalism students and educators from Iowa’s colleges and universities and you have an audience that is engaged, influential, and paying attention.
As a sponsor, your organization won’t just have a seat at the table, you’ll be helping set it as we shape not only the future of local news, but the civic health of communities across Iowa.
