To request AVS sponsorship of a topical conference, please complete and submit the online
Sponsorship Request Form.
For conference organizers outside of the AVS who are interested in
obtaining co-sponsorship, the following guidelines must be met-
The requesting group must be a valid scientific or educational organization.
The proposed topic must be of interest to AVS members.
The proposed conference must not be in conflict with an AVS conference on a similar topic.
The AVS receives many requests each year for sponsorship of technical conferences.
The AVS Topical Conference Committee reviews all requests for sponsorship to assess
whether the subject of a proposed conference is appropriate for AVS sponsorship and
to insure that it does not involve any schedule conflicts with other AVS sponsored
activities. The committee Chair presents its recommendations to the AVS Board of
Directors for their consideration and final action.
There are a few additional easy requirements for AVS sponsorship-
In order to better serve you and other AVS members, we have the following
requests from topical conference organizers-
Conference/Meeting Report
Approximately one month after the meeting,
you are required to submit a conference report for inclusion in the AVS Newsletter. This
summary report should be between 500-1000 words and include information on the meeting's
success, any exciting new technologies that were discussed and their potential impact on
the research and industrial communities, and special events and exhibits associated with
the conference. This follow-up publicity should enhance attendance at subsequent meetings.
Attendee List
One month after the meeting you are requested to provide to AVS an
electronic copy of your attendee list (ASCII delimited or Excel format preferred).
Literature Display Table
You are requested to display AVS literature at a table in
or near the registration area. This helps us promote AVS benefits and other topical
conferences like yours. Please remember to send shipping details at least one month
prior to the conference.
For questions about Topical Conference sponsorship, please contact the Topical
Conference Chair Susan Sinott at susan_sinnot@avs.org
