The most valuable sponsorships do more than put your logo in a room.
They put your company inside the experiences, conversations and relationships that move the foundry industry forward. Across executive conferences, workforce programming, operations and EHS education, international industry experiences and networking-driven events, NFFS partners have opportunities to connect with audiences throughout the foundry organization.
Your brand can reach:
Foundry owners, presidents, CEOs and senior executives • Operations, plant, production and quality leaders • Environmental, health and safety professionals • Workforce and HR leaders • Technical, engineering and innovation professionals • Purchasing and commercial decision-makers • Suppliers, service providers and strategic industry partners

Turn Your Partnership Into Your Own 2027 Experience
Your annual investment doesn't lock you into a predetermined sponsorship package.
Use your Event Experience Credit to select eligible sponsorship opportunities across the 2027 NFFS calendar and build a presence around the audiences, events and experiences that matter most to your company.
Credits may be distributed across multiple eligible NFFS events and experiences, subject to availability and partnership-level selection priority. Certain premium, high-hard-cost or limited-capacity opportunities may require additional investment or may not be eligible for credit use.

They're built around being present — when industry leaders gather, when relationships begin, when ideas are exchanged and when the foundry community comes together.
Choose the partnership level that matches your goals, then work with NFFS to build a customized mix of experiences, visibility and access that puts your company in the right rooms with the right people throughout 2027.
