Meeting Sponsorship and Host Opportunities

In order to reduce costs and associated hassle of hosting an AWES meeting, OTM offers its members sponsorship options whereby 2-4 members contribute towards the costs of an AWES meeting and OTM takes full responsibility for organising the meeting.

How does sponsorship work?

• Sponsorship is effectively a way of splitting the costs of hosting a meeting.  For example:  If the cost of the meeting (including food, beverages, facilities, etc.) is USD 8000,  this amount will be divided between 2-4 members depending on how much the members are prepared to contribute (e.g. between 2 members then USD 4000 each, between 4 members USD 2000 each)
• Meetings will be organised in a range of venues (preferably hotels), with locations staying similar to what it currently used  (e.g. mainly Houston with the option of having a meeting in Europe)
• Different types of sponsorship tiers are described below, however there are other ways your company can support AWES efforts,  please get in touch with Ekaterina or Dawn to discuss this further

Benefits:

• Many AWES member companies do not have large enough facilities to accommodate AWES meeting needs so sponsorship allows member companies of any size to show its support of the JIP by sponsoring instead
• In addition there are different tiers of sponsorship that are available and provide the opportunity to position your company as one of the technological leaders in this increasingly important area
