Why sponsor

The nation's premier event for veteran hiring and retention.

In addition to three days of programming, sponsors and attendees gain access to a slate of recognition events including the ESGR Statement of Support signing, the Wreaths Across America Driver Appreciation Dinner, the Arlington National Cemetery wreath laying, and the Army/Navy game weekend.

Sponsors are the reason we are able to host this event year after year — and the reason we are able to keep improving it. Your support directly funds the programming, speakers, and recognition events that make the summit possible.
