SwVAL 2026 Sponsor Registration

Partner with the Southwest Virginia Alternative Living Expo (SwVAL) 2026 and connect your brand with one of the region’s fastest-growing sustainability and preparedness audiences.

Held May 30–31, 2026, at the Berglund Center in Roanoke, SwVAL brings together innovators, educators, and businesses focused on sustainable living, preparedness, homesteading, holistic wellness, and small-space solutions.
