Each year, CJJ hosts a conference focusing specifically on the issue of racial and ethnic disparities in the youth legal system. These conferences give stakeholders from around the country an opportunity to share strategies and explore solutions to this serious problem. This year’s conference will bring together stakeholders working to fight disparities at the local, state, and national levels, as well as the larger juvenile justice community.

CJJ invites you to consider sponsoring our 2021 Racial and Ethnic Disparities Conference on November 1-3 in Louisville, KY.  Your sponsorship is an easy and affordable way to promote your program, publication, or institution to a targeted professional audience while supporting CJJ’s continuing efforts towards juvenile justice reform and leadership development.  Sponsorship dollars help support a broad range of necessary functions, including materials production, speaker and workshop support, youth engagement, and other general functions.  

Attendees come from across the country, including the U.S. territories, and include local and state level government employees, elected officials, researchers, law enforcement and probation officers, community organizers, social workers, youth advocates, non-profit and national foundation staff, etc. Many are also active on their Governor-mandated State Advisory Groups (SAGs), helping to guide policymaking and distribute federal funding at the state and local levels.    

This year, CJJ also has a limited number of exhibitor spaces available on November 1 and 2. Exhibiting at CJJ’s Annual Conference allows your organization an even greater opportunity to reach CJJ’s members and partners.  The Exhibit Hall is located in a prime location, ideally situated alongside the conference registration areas and outside of the general session and breakout rooms.  

Each sponsorship or exhibitor level includes a CJJ membership (various restrictions apply, based on the level of support). Please go to: http://www.juvjustice.org/about-us/members for more information about the benefits provided with CJJ membership. Additional information about sponsorships and exhibiting are below. CJJ reserves the right to only accept exhibitors or sponsors whose work is in line with our core principles.
