Sponsorship Opportunities

The APDU annual conference is a national forum for public data users, producers and disseminators to learn about and discuss significant data and public policy issues, to explore new technologies and their implications, and to provide meaningful input into federal, state and local data activities.

This always-anticipated annual event is funded principally through conference registration fees paid by attendees, who represent the governmental, non-profit, academic, and private sectors. Thanks to those dollars, along with the efforts of hundreds of dedicated volunteers over the years, the Association has been able to bring quality programming and amenities to participants.

To maintain this quality of experience amidst the reality of rising costs, the APDU Board of Directors is announcing sponsorship opportunities for organizations or individuals to help underwrite some of the costs associated with the Welcoming Reception (Monday evening, Oct. 18) and the session break refreshments during the first two conference days. Each sponsoring organization or individual will be recognized in the conference program, on the conference website, and on signage at the event.
