Your participation in the UPA
Corporate Sponsorship Program tells the world that you are committed to
creating usable products. It also communicates to your industry, your
customers, and potential employees your support of usability and user-centered
design.
By becoming a UPA sponsor, you will more easily recruit top usability
professionals and further develop your employees through their involvement
in the UPA. Your company will be more visible with your corporate logo
and name on the UPA web site and on UPA conference materials. Your company’s
name will reach more than 2900 active UPA members and thousands of others
interested in usability, as well tens of thousands of visitors to the
UPA web site.

Questions and Answers
How long will my sponsorship last?
Corporate sponsorships run from April 1, 2009 to March 31, 2010.
How do I ensure my organization receives the exclusive benefit
that we chose?
The UPA will hold an exclusive benefit for a sponsor for 30 calendar
days from the time we receive the commitment form. Sponsorship funds must
be received within this period. If sponsorship funds are not received
within 30 days of receipt of the sponsorship form, the benefit will be
made available to other sponsors on a first-pay-first-served basis.
Can you link my company’s logo to a page on my site?
Yes. Online corporate logos can be linked to your home page or a landing
page of your choice (upon request).
Where will my company’s name and logo appear at the UPA
2009 conference?
Logos will appear on conference materials and on banners and signs
recognizing corporate sponsors.
The sponsorship plans mention that certain exclusive benefits
will be “paid for by sponsor.” What does this mean?
Several of the exclusive benefits we offer sponsors – conference
bag gift, and conference bag literature inserts – entail production
costs. UPA is providing interested sponsors with the ability to sponsor
these high-visibility items, provided that the sponsor bears the costs
of production.
What about the ads in User Experience? Who designs them? Who
pays for the blow-in ad?
Sponsors will be responsible for providing full-page and blow-in ad
designs. Vendors/Sponsors will bear the cost of reproducing the blow-in ad.
