Itemized Sponsorship Opportunities

In addition to (or instead of) a general sponsorship, sponsors and/or exhibitors may support specific elements of the workshop directly.  Priority items—in particular Social Events, Catering, and Awards—are essential to this workshop and offer unique opportunities for prominent, focused sponsor recognition.
