FLC MAR Annual Meeting Sponsorship Opportunities
October 22-24, 2007
St. Michaels, Maryland

You are invited to be a sponsor for the Federal Laboratory Consortium Annual Meeting on October 22-24 at the Harbourtowne Resort in St. Michaels, Maryland.  We expect about 150 technology transfer, licensing and commercialization professionals from the Federal government, universities, industry and the economic development community.  The meeting will provide networking, training and educational presentation opportunities and will cover a number of topics related to marketing of intellectual property, the patenting process, international issues and methods for improving the technology transfer business.

We are offering six levels of sponsorship, as outlined below.  In addition to levels of sponsorship, you can also rent exhibit tables: $200 for a full, six-foot table or $100 for a half table.  These contributions would be used to defray the general costs of the meeting and help keep registration fees low.  Alternatively, we would consider customized benefits for any interests in sponsoring specific components of the meeting, such as a meal, hand-outs, the notebooks, special speaker’s needs, etc. 

 Your support will:

• Provide your organization with a high level of visibility
• Add value to your presence at the FLC meeting
• Present your organization as an industry leader
• Provide your organization with networking opportunities within the technology transfer community
• Inform colleagues and clients that you support technology transfer and the FLC while projecting a positive image of your organization
