Educational Sponsorship

NEW THIS YEAR! Align your company with one of the ICMCTF Short Course topics and be front and center in the minds of attendees. Companies can choose to sponsor an individual short course or an entire track. Each sponsor will have their company logo on the session sign as well as the opportunity to address the attendees for 2-5 minutes discussing either their company or a relevant product and/or service.

Entire Short Course Track - $1,800
Single Course - $500
