Information for Exhibitors:

Send inquiries about sponsorship to  jpowell@scacadscience.org  and/or lucia.pirisi-creek@uscmed.sc.edu

For one single, low price of $ 400.00, exhibitors will have a choice of entrance or hall table and four free

registrations to the Conference, no matter how many days the company chooses to be present.

Of course, it will be up to the company representative to offer higher levels of sponsorship, if the company so desires:

 we can provide two additional free passes to the Conference for each $ 200 increment in sponsorship,

and the opportunity to hold a satellite workshop during the Conference, for sponsorships of $ 1,000 or more.

SC start-up companies and nonprofit organizations can also participate

by making special arrangements with us and contributing in kind

(i.e. with an extensive e-mail campaign advertising the Conference

within their membership and contacts networks). Please e-mail us for details

Sponsorship Opportunities:

Here below are some ideas about items which sponsor can support completely or in part.

Each sponsor will have a complimentary exhibit table available throughout the Conference, and sponsorship of a specific

item will be acknowledged in all Conference materials. Also, we will be happy to distribute company literature (flyers, ads)

with the registration materials, and sponsorship of any specific item will be properly acknowledged on  this web site,

on posters, programs and meeting materials throughout the conference.
