APPLICATION TO EXHIBIT OR SPONSOR

CROSS is a conference geared for 18-25 year olds and their leaders. It encourages them to make their lives count by making Jesus' name known either as a sender or a goer. Therefore it is our hope to partner with sponsors and exhibitors who aim to serve our attendees to this end.

WHAT IS THE APPLICATION PROCESS?

All organizations desiring to partner with CROSS are required to apply using the application link below. We desire to partner with organizations that support our vision, beliefs, and purpose and therefore each application goes through a careful review process.  An application that we do not accept should not be received as a rejection of the organization itself; we are simply trying to closely align our goals with the goals of partnering organizations.
