Supporting the UMD College of Information Studies
More than 550 attendees are expected to attend the conference to share new research and ideas. Sponsors will have the opportunity to showcase their organization and reach top information professionals and influencers from academia, government, and industry.
As host, the College of Information Studies is helping to promote the innovative research and networking essential to the growth of this field. All sponsorship proceeds are returned to the College of Information Studies to support costs associated with iConference, but also expand undergraduate and graduate programs, faculty research, and student engagement.
