ESIP is supported by cooperative agreements with NASA, NOAA, and USGS. Learn more about our organization and funding model.

Be a catalyst.

Want to support innovation in Earth science data and computing? Then join the club! These are companies that have supported ESIP in the past. We are seeking more collaborators to make workshops, tools, new programs, and collaborative models available more broadly.

Sponsor the ESIP Meeting

Join the ESIP community in what it does best – build connections and share ideas through in-person gatherings and virtual collaboration tools.

Here is the ROI:

  • Build relationships with the Earth science data community
  • Demonstrate product leadership and expertise, and acquire new customer leads
  • Receive logo and brand exposure with acknowledgment in key places
  • Meet and recruit high-level science talent, from early career to senior professionals

Sponsors can choose to provide general meeting support, fund student participation or host conference events, including workshops, breaks and receptions. We can also tailor a sponsorship package for your needs.

 

Sponsorship Levels

Top level sponsors are highlighted on all meeting marketing materials. Each package comes with meeting registrations (varies by level) and Premier sponsors have the chance to introduce plenary sessions.

  • Premier – $30,000
  • Gold – $15,000
  • Silver – $10,000
  • Friend – $3,000

Specific to upcoming ESIP Meeting:

  • Opening Reception – $10,000
  • Research Showcase – $5,000
  • Coffee Break – $5,000
  • Support for early career and students – $1,000

Support the ESIP Lab

ESIP’s core values of Curiosity and Openness are showcased in the ESIP Lab, which provides small-grant funding opportunities for Earth science technology research projects.

Each project must outline a specific learning objective. So, rather than convincing funders that a proposal has all the answers already, the ESIP Lab looks at roadblocks that a small investment can help overcome. The ESIP Lab also provides a collaborative environment, access to tools and cloud resources, and support to innovate.

Can your company’s product help with the next breakthrough? Consider an in-kind sponsorship or funding an incubator project.

Fund the Data Help Desk

Bringing people together is what ESIP does. The Data Help Desk specifically connects domain scientists and data experts to share knowledge, tools, and workflows.

We want to fully fund and expand this collaborative model:

  • Pay for booths at relevant meetings
  • Reach more Earth science domains
  • Provide a digital knowledge base
  • Establish a matchmaking and ticketing system for queries

The Data Help Desk has followed an event-to-event process. We want to make its resources available all year. Help make data matter by giving STEM professionals an entry point to the tools of the trade.

Volunteer experts in ESIP’s Slack answer data and software questions during and beyond events.

$2k-$5k

The average cost of a booth at most scientific conferences is one of the biggest program costs.

The impact of the Data Help Desk is more than the sum of dollars or number of tools. Its power is connection.

Small but mighty.
Our staff is a team of five. But we get a lot done.

Sponsorship makes a difference.

The ESIP community shares challenges and opportunities like moving data to the cloud, navigating commercial partnerships, and connecting with domain scientists and cultivating the next generation for our workforce. Help us innovate!
