Founded in 1909, the NAACP is the nation’s oldest and largest civil rights organization. From the ballot box to the classroom, the thousands of dedicated workers, organizers, leaders and members who make up the NAACP continue to fight for social justice for all Americans.

The NAACP’s annual convention is regarded as the event of the year for those engaged in civil rights advocacy and ensuring equality for all Americans. Through its annual convention, the NAACP leads a national dialogue on civil rights advocacy and establishes its policies and programs of action for the upcoming year. More than 5,000 people gather to explore and share models of advocacy for strengthening communities. Convention partners benefit from the opportunity to:

• Interact with national thought leaders, activists, political and corporate leaders who share a commitment to advancing civil and human rights in communities throughout the country
• Highlight a commitment to advancing civil and human rights
• Align as a national partner of the country’s oldest and most renowned civil rights organization, creating an opportunity to position your brand among NAACP constituents
• Opportunity for broad national media coverage
