Sponsors & Exhibitors FAQ

    1. You get to support QCF's mission. We recognize that Christianity has not and does not always make it easy for those who identify as LGBTQ+ to reconcile their identity with their faith. We are witnesses to both the harm that faith communities can inflict, and the hope and healing that is possible through Christ. By joining us as a conference sponsor, you are supporting the transformative work that happens each year at QCF's conference.

    2. You get to share about your organization's mission with an inclusive community! We love to uplift the work our sponsors do as we strive together toward a more equitable world.

    3. You enable us to continue hosting not only our annual conference, but our year-round ministry as well! Your sponsorship helps cover some of our conference costs so that we can continue our year-round programming for our amazing community.

  • We will be gathering at the Hilton Portland Downtown Hotel in the heart of Portland, Oregon. The address is 921 SW 6th Ave, Portland, OR 97204.

  • The Exhibitor Hall is in the hallways lining our registration table, breakout rooms, and the ballroom, ensuring that you will be involved in high traffic areas and seen by participants.

  • Yes! More details are to come, but we will have a game for conference attendees to earn the chance to win prizes by visiting various exhibitor tables.

  • Exact times are TBD. However, you can plan to have your table open Thursday through Saturday.

  • Table setup will happen on the morning of Thursday, January 22, 2026. Exact times are TBD. Please reach out to Aiden Diaz if you need to set up at a different time.

  • You do not! You are welcome to explore Conference (depending on ticket level–see more information below) and to take care of your personal needs as you need. Just keep in mind that if you have high value items on your table that there will not be someone to watch over the items while you are away

  • Each package comes with a different number of Conference registrations. These registrations give you full attendee access to the programming happening during the weekend: General Sessions, Podcast Stage, Breakout Sessions, and much more! You are welcome to purchase additional Conference Registrations for fellow colleagues who would like to participate in programming here. Do you have people who need a ticket to help run your booth but not participating in other Conference programming? Please email Aiden Diaz to inquire about Exhibitor Only Passes.

  • You will receive a 6-foot by 30-inch table with draping, 2 chairs, a wastebasket, WiFi, and electricity access.

  • Yes! We have access to two Loading Bays. Please email Aiden Diaz at aiden@qchristian.org if you would like to utilize one of the two bays as times of usage must be scheduled with the hotel.

  • Yes! The freight elevator only connects the ground floor to the Ballroom Level. If your exhibitor space is on Plaza Level we have access to three service elevators located within a few feet of the loading dock that may be able to suffice depending on your needs. Please email Aiden Diaz at aiden@qchristian.org if you would like to utilize the freight or service elevator or if the items/display that you are bringing needs to be placed on a certain level depending on the load needed. 

  • Great question! The hotel does have luggage carts, but they are prioritized for overnight guests, so availability to exhibitors will depend on the demand from hotel guests. For that reason we ask that exhibitors come prepared with their own equipment to roll their items. If that is not possible, please allow enough time to borrow the carts in case they may have to wait for a luggage cart to become available.

  • Yes! The hotel can accommodate up to 3 days prior to the start of the conference. Anything earlier than that may require an additional storage fee. The hotel does charge a package handling fee calculated by weight. Please email Aiden Diaz at aiden@qchristian.org for additional information.

  • At this time, there is not a secure place to keep your items during the Conference. We encourage all exhibitors to keep a mindful eye on their belongings at all times. We will have more information about this later this year.

  • A Virtual Exhibitor Booth is a space on our Conference Hybrid Platform, Mighty Networks, where you get to display your organization. Think of the space like a full interactive ad that conference attendees have access to as long as they keep their account on the platform. We will ask for you to submit information about your organization such as a description of the organization/business, videos, logos, photos, and any other information or links you would want people to have access to. 

  • On our Conference Hybrid Platform, Mighty Networks, we will have a list of all sponsors and exhibitors in the FAQ space for participants to see. Only virtual or hybrid exhibitors will be listed under the exhibitors space on the app. 

  • Yes! A map will be released to exhibitors before Conference begins. There will also be a map at the registration booth for Exhibitors to reference when you check in. A map will also be shared with Conference Attendees in the FAQ section of our hybrid platform.

  • No, because you are receiving a product/service for your sponsorship. If you are an individual who sponsors Conference anonymously then you can receive tax documentation for this giving. If you chose to sponsor Conference, and take part in having your name displayed, it is considered an advertising service and not eligible.
