Corporate Sponsorship Opportunities

As the premier conference in the field of information search and retrieval, SIGIR attracts the best talent in industry and academia. At each conference, we offer a number of opportunities to sponsors who wish to increase the visibility of their organization in this rapidly advancing field, both locally and internationally.

Sponsor donations allow the conference registration fees to be kept as low as possible, both to promote attendance and to offset the cost of events and provide services and items that benefit all involved in the event. Supporting SIGIR activities is an excellent way to reach a wide audience with high impact. Your generosity will also help us expand SIGIR’s program and events.

Based on the amount you donate, you can qualify for one of the following SIGIR Corporate Support levels (all amounts are in U.S. dollars):
