Now

Get us your logo so we can promote you as a sponsor.

  • Upload your company logo to this shared folder
  • Two versions of your logos are needed: 1) in full color, and 2) a reversed out version. Vector files are required for best resolution on print materials (e.g .EPS or .AI).
  • We will then add your logo to the Sponsors webpage, in email footers, and slide deck templates that are available for use by all speakers at the conference.
  • If you encounter any issues accessing the folder or uploading your images please email Mira Roseman (mroseman@berkeley.edu) or Lisa Hisson (lhisson@berkeley.edu). 

June 9

Determine who from your team will be attending the conference.

  • Sponsors receive a number of complimentary full pass conference registrations based on their sponsorship tier:

    • Platinum: 3 representatives
    • Gold: 2 representatives
    • Silver: 1 representative
    • Bronze: 1 representative
  • Once this has been determined, notify Mira Roseman (mroseman@berkeley.edu) or Lisa Hisson (lhisson@berkeley.edu) and we will send you a dedicated conference link for your team to get registered. Please do not register via the UC Tech website as those registrations cannot be refunded.
  • You may purchase additional registrations at $275/person via this waitlist registration form. The final day to request additional passes for sponsors is June 9, any requests after this date cannot be guaranteed.
