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

AIS offers multiple sponsorship tiers to support different goals and budgets. Each tier includes a mix of on-site visibility, digital promotion, attendee access, and networking benefits. A full comparison is available in the sponsorship prospectus.
