2026 Thrive! Sponsorships

Thrive! The NCHE Homeschool Conference will be held May 21–23, 2026, at the Benton Convention Center in Winston-Salem, NC. Each year, thousands of homeschool families gather at Thrive! eager for the help, encouragement, and resources they need to homeschool with confidence and joy. The conference is a highlight of the year for North Carolina homeschoolers, creating an atmosphere of energy, enthusiasm, and inspiration. This is an excellent opportunity to showcase your products and services to a highly engaged, well-targeted audience.

Sponsorships are available on a first-come, first-served basis, so we encourage you to act quickly. You may also purchase an advertisement in the Thrive! Conference Program.

In 2025, Thrive! welcomed 1,409 families (4,063 individuals)—parents, teens, and children—representing communities across North Carolina and neighboring states.
