Conference Sponsorship

The first weekend in June, historians, scholars, and fans of Willa Cather nation-wide convene in Red Cloud for the annual Willa Cather Spring Conference. As one of the most significant literary events in the country, Spring Conference has become a momentous and enjoyable cultural event for people of all ages. Sponsoring the Spring Conference is a wonderful opportunity to connect yourself or your business with one of Nebraska's storied annual events and one of the most respected not-for-profit organizations. The success of the conference relies on the support of our generous sponsors.
