How to sponsor an ICST conference
Industry sponsorship opportunities at ICST activities are available at multiple levels in multiple forms. Partners interested in financially contributing to the organizational process of ICST events can substantially benefit from the technical and marketing elements offered in the different sponsorship packages. Sponsoring an ICST activity can provide the sponsoring organization with a series of concrete advantages, such as the promotion of a certain product/service line within a highly specialized, influential community, the organization of an event that focuses on research problems specifically identified by the sponsoring partner, the promotion of organizational principles and policy positions through an inclusion in the official conference program, or the expression of interest in supporting a specific technological research area.
The specifically designed ICST sponsorship packages match different levels of benefits with different levels of financial commitment on behalf of the sponsoring organization. In case of all sponsorship packages, acknowledgments of the sponsoring organization, such as the company's name, product, and logo, appears in the main web page of the sponsored conference and in all official documentation related to the event. Certain packages include more specific benefits, such as the right to deliver a short presentation within the official framework of the conference or the option to sponsor a social activity, such as the gala dinner, a welcome reception or a business luncheon. In addition to these alternatives, sponsoring organization can become involved through an even wider array of different channels, such as sponsoring grants and awards or organizing exhibit and demos.
