Sponsorship
One day in Evans Hall. A sponsor pays for the room, the program, and the time people spend with each other.
Evans Hall at a recent conference. Not the 2027 program.
- 15years hosting the ELC
- 10+panels and workshops a year
- 250+attendees yearly
Every spring, one room fills with the people moving education forward — classroom teachers and community organizers in the same seats as superintendents, nonprofit founders, and the policymakers shaping decisions at the state and federal level.
The conference is run by students in the Yale School of Management Education Club.

The packet says requests for a panelist or moderator had to arrive by January 31, 2025, and that a place on a panel was not guaranteed. The packet says each session was meant to balance perspective, gender, and race, and that the conference kept the final say on placement.
Networking expo
The 2026 expo one-pager is the current public offer for a table. It is not a 2027 schedule. A table is for materials, open roles, and time with the people in the building.
Standard rate $295. Nonprofit rate $195. The fee includes one table, two conference tickets (the one-pager values those tickets at $200), a soft-copy resume book of attendees, and time on the floor with them. The one-pager says the table fee is waived for selected conference sponsors.
Contact
The 2026 packet lists Satoshi Suga, MBA Class of 2026, at satoshi.suga@yale.edu, and Duurenzaya Bukhbat, MAM Class of 2026, at duurenzaya.bukhbat@yale.edu. The expo one-pager points sponsorship questions to the same Satoshi Suga address.
