Sponsors should submit the number of participants they wish to sponsor. Early response allows adequate time for the selection process among participating universities. Sponsor companies may arrange for a representative to be seated with their guests at the breakfast seminars at no extra charge. Sponsored students and faculty participate in many activities, which include attending special daily breakfast seminars, other special sessions, optional field trips, and regular conference sessions. Evenings include an orientation session and pizza party, an outing to a Chicago restaurant and the conference receptions.
Sponsors expect sponsored guests to fully participate in the program.
A letter of acknowledgment after the conference is generally appreciated by sponsors. Travel and Accommodations Money for transportation provided by the sponsor is usually supplied in advance to cover the usual mode of travel from each sponsored guest's university to Chicago by the most convenient and economic means. Guests are expected to arrange their own transportation from their university to Chicago. In some cases, a mileage allowance is feasible and should be considered. Many sponsors are familiar with travel options and should be contacted before finalizing arrangements.
