Your sponsorship enables 

Expanded diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programming


Sponsor DEI efforts and enable underrepresented communities to impact the field and practice of IA. Your sponsorship empowers us to include people who otherwise could not afford to attend, such as those whose employment has been affected by COVID-19 or other circumstances.

Student scholarships for traditionally under-represented communities


IAC’s Scholarship Program has offered 30 full scholarships to people of color since 2018. Your sponsorship allows students to continue to participate in the conference. We are reaching out to Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) to increase student participation.

World-class programming and conversations.


As the premiere conference of information architects and user experience professionals, your sponsorship enables new speakers to join the conversation.

Let’s work together to get the visibility and recognition that works for you. We can design a package that leaves an impression with attendees and supports the creative atmosphere of the conference.

Your backing can support:

  • DEIB Initiatives including Scholarships for student and professional attendees
  • Events, special guests, breaks, and more…
  • Movement: IAC is the home of Polar Bear Yoga, the Polar Bear Run, and the Polar Bear 2k Walk!
  • Attendee programs such as professional headshots, the IAC Career Center, portfolio reviews, mentoring, and more…
  • Provide IAC23 speaker and volunteer gifts, swag, logistics and more…

Do you have a great idea to make the event even better? Do you want to give an open-ended contribution that our volunteer organizers can put to good use? Let’s talk!
