2027 Forma Annual Conference

The 2027 Forma Annual Conference returns to the Radically Hybrid model, bringing together Christian formation leaders from across the Episcopal Church and beyond through a powerful combination of online programming and regional in-person gatherings. This format dramatically expands reach, accessibility, and impact — and creates exceptional opportunities for sponsors to connect with a nationwide audience of dedicated formation practitioners.

Why Sponsor the Forma Conference?

Forma-Icon-Space-Door-1024x1015

Sponsoring the Forma Annual Conference places your organization at the heart of the Episcopal Church’s formation community. Forma participants are active, engaged formation practitioners — decision-makers for curricula, resources, and ministry partnerships in their congregations, dioceses, and schools.

 

2027 Sponsorship Tiers

Forma offers six sponsorship levels, each designed to provide meaningful visibility and impact for your organization. All sponsors receive access to professionally produced conference recordings — a unique opportunity to extend the value of your partnership beyond the conference itself.

Sponsor-Levels1-663x1024

* All sponsor logos and recognition will appear in both English and Spanish conference materials.
** Diocese can sponsor at any level to receive bulk ticket pricing with an option to invoice the diocese. 

Extra: Approved items from organizations who choose not to sponsor at a tier above may be included in the Forma Box for $100. You are responsible for mailing items to VTS by December 1, 2026 to ensure they arrive in time to be packaged in the mailing. Email [email protected] for this option. 

What Makes the Hybrid Model Distinctive

  • Online plenaries and workshops that are professionally produced in English and Spanish
  • Regional on-site gatherings (anticipating 10+ locations) hosted at Episcopal conference centers and churches nationwide
  • Full Spanish-language access through live simultaneous interpretation and translated materials
  • Recordings distributed to all participants — and to sponsors for use within their organizations
  • Access for formation leaders who cannot travel for continuing education, making the conference significantly more accessible
  • Broader diocesan reach: 68 dioceses represented in 2025 vs. 57 in the single-site 2026 conference
