- One full registration is included in the sponsorship fee. Additional sponsor registrations can be purchased at the standard attendee rate.
- Fifteen minutes of interactive demonstration time. Given the nature of the symposium, we are requiring that all sponsors present a live and interactive demonstration rather than simply playing back pre-rendered content. In fact, we strongly encourage sponsors to have a customer do the presentation rather than a company representative.
- Or, if you prefer to do a more traditional sales pitch, we will allot five to 10 minutes for this. Please inform us when you sign up for your sponsorship which type of presentation you prefer.
- Every attendee will have the opportunity to attend your demonstration.
- LIPS is limited to no more than 10 sponsors. Your message will not get lost in the crowd!
- We will supply a table for promotional items if you wish to provide them.
- Your logo on this webpage. Please email your desired logo and URL to link to karrie@digitaliseducation.com
Travel
About Boulder
Nestled in a valley below the Flatirons Mountains, Boulder is a place of great natural beauty, and it has something for everyone. There are hiking trails, mountain biking, parks, and more for outdoor enthusiasts. With an average of 300 days of sunshine per year, Boulder will make it easy for you to enjoy all that nature has to offer.
For those who prefer indoor pursuits, there are many museums on topics such as natural history, art, and Boulder history. The Pearl Street Mall offers multiple shops, restaurants, and services; it is about a 30 minute walk from the Fiske Planetarium.
Consider adding a few days before or after LIPS to take advantage of all that Boulder has to offer.

The Procurement Service Center has established relationships with local hotels in and around Boulder to provide a local preferred hotel program that benefits the traveling guests of the university.
