Sponsor Frequently Asked Questions
We know you have questions and we want to address them all. To help you determine if this is a good fit for your company’s goals, here are a few questions we would want answered if we were sponsoring ourselves:
The Aline Innovation Summit (AIS) is a three-day, executive-level conference designed for senior living, post-acute, and skilled nursing leaders who are actively shaping strategy, technology adoption, and operational performance. AIS brings together operators and solution partners to collaborate on real challenges — not just exchange business cards.
This is not a general expo audience — sponsors engage directly with leaders who influence purchasing decisions and long-term partnerships. AIS attracts decision-makers and enterprise leaders, including:
- C-suite executives and owners
- Sales, marketing, operations, finance, and clinical leadership
- Post-acute and skilled nursing executives
- Strategy, innovation, and transformation leaders
Sponsors are part of the experience — not sidelined from it. AIS is intentionally designed to eliminate the “empty booth” problem.
- No isolated expo hall
- Sponsor tables are placed in the Star Foyer, directly along the main attendee flow
- Attendees pass sponsors between sessions, during breaks, and at meals
- Conversations happen naturally and repeatedly throughout the event
AIS prioritizes depth of engagement over badge scans, making it ideal for companies focused on meaningful growth. Sponsorship supports goals such as:
- Pipeline creation with qualified operators
- Brand visibility among enterprise decision-makers
- Strengthening strategic partnerships
- Positioning your company as a thought leader
- Building long-term relationships, not just leads
