UIST 2011 Corporate Support

You are invited to support the UIST 2011 conference. This is an ideal way to demonstrate your organization's interest in and commitment to the field of user interface software and technology, and to publicize this support to many leaders and students in the field.

Corporate support is typically used to permit a greater number of students to attend UIST at reduced fees without artificially increasing the general registration, and to allow student volunteers to receive complimentary registration. Corporate support can also be targeted to a particular event or activity at the UIST Conference.

The UIST 2011 conference has four corporate support levels: Platinum, Gold, Silver and Bronze. Corporate support is very important to the conference, and the conference committee ensures that these contributions are well recognized. We list the benefits and costs below. (If you can think of another benefit that would make this more attractive to your company, do let us know!)

If you are interested in supporting UIST 2011, please contact our corporate support chair:
