NBEA helps introduce quality brands to business educators.
Advertising & Partnership Options
Looking for the fastest way to reach business educators? NBEA connects you with both secondary and collegiate business educators nationwide. Here are your options at a glance.
Associate Membership $395 / year
Your entry point to the NBEA ecosystem
Associate membership connects you to the NBEA business education ecosystem and builds your brand and trust with educators throughout the year. It includes one educational webinar, scheduled and approved by NBEA and hosted by you. These sessions are educational in nature, though you're welcome to place your product at the center of the topic — NBEA discloses to members when a session is vendor-provided.
Membership also includes twice-annual newsletter article placement at NBEA's discretion. These are informational pieces that earn educators' attention rather than commercials or overt ads, with your product or initiative at the center. Associate members also enjoy significant discounts on convention registration and exhibition space, plus 10% off all advertising below.
To join, register as an "Associate" and complete the process. Questions? MemberService@nbea.org

Business Education Forum
The official peer-reviewed journal of NBEA
With roughly 2,000 business-educator subscribers, the Forum is an excellent way to reach engaged NBEA members. It's published twice a year — December and May — and written and edited by business educators. Digital copies are full color; separately ordered hardcopies carry color covers with a black-and-white interior. Since 2/1/2020 the Forum has been distributed electronically to members, with hardcopy going only to select libraries and subscribers.
