🎳Social Event Sponsorship
🎳Social Event Sponsorship
We welcome a sponsor at any level to co-host a social event at the Institute. In the past, sponsors have supported a welcome reception or a dinner. We work together to define the event; the IDEAL team does most of the planning, and the sponsor covers the costs. This is a highly visible option - positions you as a partnering "host" at the institute.
