Sponsorship
Why sponsor Northwestern Quantum Week?
- Support high-impact scientific and industry exchange. Your sponsorship helps keep the events free for invited attendees while covering key costs (such as speaker travel, venue, A/V, meals, and logistics).
- Build new partnerships while making your brand more visible to a concentrated audience of innovators. Quantum Week convenes senior scientists, engineers, innovators, and distinguished alumni leaders across the quantum industry — an efficient way to reach technical and strategic stakeholders in one place. We also welcome your suggestions to shape future quantum week events.
- Strengthen your brand in the nation and regional quantum ecosystem. Sponsoring signals commitment to regional ecosystem-building, workforce development, and long-term collaborations with Northwestern and our growing network of quantum researchers and stakeholders.
- Create meaningful touchpoints with researchers and talent. Sponsor representatives are encouraged (and at upper tiers, invited) to welcome attendees at key points during the events, and engage in person—supporting relationship-building and awareness of your company’s brand and recruiting goals.
- Advance a shared mission. Sponsorship accelerates dialogue across the technical, commercial, and ecosystem dimensions of quantum computing, sensing, and communications — helping to increase partnerships that are mutually dedicated to translating research into useful applications and impact.
