Exhibitors and Sponsors
For more than 50 years, NYWC has supported youth ministry, welcoming pastors, volunteers, students, workers, spouses—anyone helping teenagers find and follow Jesus. Youth workers from across the country and multiple denominations will join us in Columbus this November to be rejuvenated, inspired and encouraged.
Over four days, attendees engage in breakout sessions, panels, discussions, personal spiritual renewal, professional coaching, leadership development and more! They’ll visit the exhibit hall again and again for resources to enhance their ministry at home.
We invite you to partner with us to equip and encourage youth workers!

This is our new, FREE online platform that will be used by exhibitors to book their booth space, purchase a la carte items, and build out their virtual booth information. This platform will be used by attendees as well to view exhibitor profiles, products, brochures, and booth information; connect with exhibitors and other attendees via private messaging; schedule one-on-one appointments with exhibitors; and view detailed information about the NYWC schedule, speakers, and breakout sessions during the event.
We have hotel blocks available in Columbus. More information may be found here. Please note that we have not contracted with an outside company for hotels. If you receive any calls from anyone claiming to be from YS, NYWC, or our hotels, it is likely a scam and we encourage you not to engage with the caller.
