Sponsorship
The success of our conference significantly relies on sponsors. A major portion of conference sponsorship will directly support student success such as student research prizes, and student travel. In return, companies or organizations can strengthen visibility to the diverse and talented attendee pool. Currently, our projected budget is $6,000 and registration costs will only cover about 15% of the total conference cost. We hope this year’s conference will have record-breaking attendance of undergraduate students, graduate students, professionals, and companies with your support and help. Below is a breakdown of sponsorship benefits and options:
