Symposium Sponsorship Opportunities


View Sponsorship Packages

Dear Industry, Government and Funding Partners:

We are offering a select group sponsorship opportunities for the 2022 Drone, Automation and Robotics Technology (DART) Symposium, Nov 30 – Dec 1. This two day event will take place at the University Center on the beautiful California State University Monterey Bay (CSUMB) campus.

This year’s theme is “Innovation Workforce: Ready to Fly!”. We will explore the opportunities and challenges of expanding DART on the Central Coast.


Our educational and networking outreach is entirely dependent on your participation. We are asking for your continued support for the planning and delivery of our symposium. Please accept our personal invitation to join and sustain our efforts by sponsoring our upcoming symposium (Nov 30 – Dec 1). 

Over the years, we have utilized regional partnerships to enhance innovation opportunities. This support has also aided in the development of both workforce and quality jobs.  With your help, we can ensure a sustainable and resilient economic growth for our region.

We strive to benefit our collective regional economy and community by including those who are unable to afford this event. Please join us in funding participation of members of our disadvantaged and underserved communities. We have created a new sponsorship category for this effort.

There are many benefits to joining us as an Event Sponsor as outlined below.
