The University of Toledo has sponsored the Association of University Technology Managers (AUTM) Annual Meeting as a “Friend of AUTM” for the past several years and we intend to co-sponsor the Industry and Academia Partnering Forum this year. Why are we an AUTM Annual Meeting sponsor? We do it because of the professional development and networking opportunities the meeting provides for our technology transfer professionals and for the university. I encourage you to consider joining me in sponsoring the meeting. The annual meeting will be held February 27 – March 2, 2013 at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center in San Antonio, Texas. It will be a great opportunity to hone your skills, learn about the latest trends and to network with academic and commercial licensing and business development professionals.
The meeting, a four-day educational and networking event, features special interest groups, educational tracks and interactive workshops developed for seasoned technology transfer professionals and newcomers to the field. Our last annual meeting in Anaheim had over 1700 attendees, so this event offers an networking opportunity. For your convenience, here is the Sponsorship Brochure.
If you are in a position to be a sponsor this year, I would appreciate it if you would contact Madh Carson at mcarson@autm.net.
