2027 Sponsorship Opportunities

 

Conference Purpose

The biennial Northeast Farm to Institution Summit, brought to you by Farm to Institution New England (FINE), brings together more than 500 people to generate ideas and connections that advance the ability of the Northeast to support viable farm, food, and sea businesses and healthy, just communities. Your sponsorship makes that possible, and includes special benefits.

This year, we gather for three days in Burlington, Vermont, April 14-16, 2027 at Hotel Champlain. The F2iSummit features keynote speeches, panels, breakout sessions, workshops, demos, field trips, and tons of networking opportunities.

 

Why Sponsor?

  1. Position yourself as a leader committed to building a strong regional food system — one of viable farm and food businesses, engaged institutions, and well-nourished communities.

  2. Showcase your product or service to a large, values-aligned audience actively seeking partners in this work.

  3. Build new relationships and deepen existing ones.

  4. Help keep registration fees accessible to all, in alignment with FINE's Strategic Plan commitments.

...such an amazing and inspiring conference. Many of the connections I made there are proving to be transformative for our work at Boston Farms.
— Joy Gary, Executive Director, Boston Farms Community Land Trust
We’re a sponsor this year and next year we’re going to sponsor at a higher level. It is guaranteed, in our opinion, the conversations alone that we’ve had, the introductions that were made to us here and just the … feeling that you get when you’re talking to a bunch of other people who are really on the same cause as you.
— Tim O'Neil, Owner, Wellness Croft
