15FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: Which sponsorship option is recommended for recently formed
companies that lack the resources of larger sponsors?
A: For newer companies, smaller companies, or individual
sponsors, we recommend the Silver Sponsorship Package. This
package comes at a fair price and can make a massive impact for
a brand looking to expand its notoriety.
Q: What exactly is “premium logo placement” ?
A: “Premium logo placement,” which is only available for Diamond
and Gold Sponsors, allows for the opportunity to receive
preferential treatment on all logo-related benefits (top line,
centered, or first; larger than others). This includes the chance to
place your company logo on attendee badges.
Q: What kind of recruiting services does RMDS for event
sponsors?
A: Sponsors can ask RMDS to refer potential employees who are
in our community or attend our monthly meetups/annual meeting
by providing a detailed job description. RMDS will help our
sponsors seize the opportunity and match with the best candidates
within the fields of artificial intelligence and big data.
16Q: Who will be in attendance?
A: We expect a large gathering comprised of mostly industry
professionals, such as high ranking engineers, data scientists, and
software developers who are interested in learning more about
artificial intelligence and building a powerful network. Professionals
in other industries that are looking to apply AI and machine
learning within their field will also be in attendance. Besides these
individuals, we presume that many academics will attend the event,
such as Master’s and PhD students from our neighboring and
partnered colleges, like UCLA and CalTech.
Q: Is there a limit on how many passes a sponsor can utilize their
conference discount towards?
A: Here at RMDS, we believe that changing the world only
happens when people work together. Due to this philosophy, we
proudly allow for unlimited uses of the percentage discount that a
sponsor receives. The future belongs to all of us!
Q: What is an “expo booth” ?
A: An expo booth is a small area that contains tables, posters,
pamphlets, and information about a sponsor’s company or products.
Sponsors will provide their own materials on the day(s) of the
event(s) and RMDS will provide tables, chairs, and other necessary
items upon request. Sponsor-provided materials may include
business cards, brochures, flyers, freebies, or similar items.
