Types of Conference Involvement
 


IEEE provides for several types of involvement with conferences

SPONSORSHIP

Sponsorship indicates complete responsibility in the technical, financial, publicity and administrative areas of the conference.

In the technical/professional area, IEEE members will plan the scope of the program, organize panel discussions, invite special speakers and review and select contributed papers.
In the financial area, IEEE members will be involved in preparing the conference budget, monitoring the financial affairs and preparing the final financial report.
At least one IEEE entity (administrative unit) will assist in local arrangements, exhibits, publicity, public relations and publications.
IEEE sponsored conferences are financially accountable to the sponsoring entities and to IEEE Headquarters.
The Proceedings of IEEE sponsored conferences qualify for distribution through the IEEE Book Broker Program.
IEEE sponsored conferences are entitled to IEEE services at the non-profit rate.
IEEE sponsored conferences must have the IEEE logo and name included in the conference title and all conference publications and announcements.

CO-SPONSORSHIP

Co-sponsorship indicates a shared significant involvement in the technical, financial, publicity and administrative areas of the conference, as defined under sponsorship.

IEEE Co-sponsored conferences are entitled to IEEE services at the nonprofit rate.
For IEEE Co-sponsored conferences it is recommended that the IEEE logo be used in all conference publications and announcements.

TECHNICAL CO-SPONSORSHIP

Technical Co-sponsorship indicates direct and substantial involvement in the organization of the technical program without sponsor credit or financial involvement. It also involves encouraging members to submit papers and attend the conference through availability of the appropriate IEEE Society mailing list.
The involved IEEE entity may wish to negotiate a variety of issues with the sponsoring organization, including registration fees for IEEE Members, possible post-conference sales of proceedings through the Book Broker program, and other issues that benefit the Conference and the future interaction with the sponsoring organization.

COOPERATION

The cooperating IEEE Entity may wish to negotiate a variety of issues with the sponsoring organization, including registration fees for IEEE Members, possible post-conference sales of proceedings through the Book Broker program, assist with the publicity and encourage individual members to submit papers and attend the conference through availability of the appropriate IEEE Society mailing list. IEEE has no financial involvement.
