Sponsors
become a sponsor or exhibitor
We intentionally designed an inclusive conference experience with sponsors and exhibitors integrated into the main event, rather than peripheral. As a sponsor, you can increase brand recognition, showcase your products or services, and network with potential customers and partners. In addition, sponsoring a conference focused on advancing the role of women in Healthcare and Information Technology demonstrates your company’s commitment to these values. With a variety of sponsorship levels available, including Without Boundaries, Platinum, Gold, and Silver, you can tailor your support to align with your goals. Co-sponsorship opportunities are also available so you can join forces with other companies.
