Special sponsorship arrangements do require further discussion. We invite sponsors to bring an activity; but advanced notice is needed to plan accordingly and to ensure the required space is available. We also ask that you do not sell your product or services during Orientation. Some deliverables have deadlines, so please contact us right away to confirm your interest and get the best value for your sponsorship.
