SD BAKers Association sponsorship OPPORTUNITIES!

---

Join us at the Sheraton Sioux Falls Hotel & Convention Center for the South Dakota Bakers Association’s 2nd Annual Convention — a statewide event created to educate, connect, and elevate bakers and treat makers across South Dakota.

This convention brings together hands-on workshops, keynote speakers, live stage demonstrations, competitions, networking opportunities, and a dynamic vendor marketplace. Our goal is to provide practical education, strengthen professional relationships, and build a thriving baking community across the state.

Whether you choose to participate as a sponsor, vendor, or both, you are helping us create an experience that supports professional growth and meaningful community impact.

Our vendor marketplace is a central part of the convention experience.

For 2026, vendor booth fees are waived. Instead of a booth fee, we ask each vendor to donate a product or service with a minimum value of $50 to be used for raffles, giveaways, or attendee experiences.

This model allows us to:

• Enhance the overall attendee experience
• Support our Birthday Blessings Program in partnership with Foster 605
• Help fund scholarship opportunities for students pursuing culinary education

As a vendor, you will:

• Showcase and sell your products or services to a focused audience of bakers and treat makers
• Build brand visibility within South Dakota’s baking community
• Connect directly with small business owners and industry professionals
• Network with instructors, sponsors, and fellow vendors

Your donation replaces a traditional booth fee while helping us create an impactful and memorable event.

Sponsorship plays a vital role in elevating the entire convention experience.

Your sponsorship directly supports:

• High-quality educational programming and keynote speakers
• Baking products, food, and beverages for attendees
• Giveaways and raffle experiences
• The SDBA Birthday Blessings Program, providing free birthday desserts to foster families across South Dakota
• Scholarship opportunities for aspiring culinary students

By sponsoring the SDBA Convention, you are investing in education, outreach, and the continued growth of South Dakota’s baking industry. The South Dakota Bakers Association is a registered 501(c)(6) nonprofit organization. Contributions may be tax-deductible as allowed by law.

Whether as a sponsor or vendor, partnering with the South Dakota Bakers Association allows you to:

• Promote your brand to a focused audience of baking professionals
• Demonstrate your support for small businesses across South Dakota
• Build meaningful industry relationships
• Contribute to education and community initiatives that create lasting impact

When you partner with SDBA, you’re not just supporting an event — you’re helping strengthen the future of baking in South Dakota.
