Induction Ceremony and Events – Sponsorship Information Join Us

 Induction Ceremony and Events – Sponsorship Information Join Us Each year, the National Inventors Hall of Fame welcomes a new class of the world’s foremost inventors. America is built on the creativity of these men and women whose work has changed the course of history. On May 11-­‐13, we will gather in the nation’s Capital to tell the stories of our greatest role models, pay homage to their lives, and inspire the future of innovation. Throughout the course of the next year, we will inspire innovation in America through these Inductees’ stories. Over 1 million children, collegiate inventors, teachers, and passionate inventors will participate alongside the National Inventors Hall of Fame and our partners. We hope you will join us. Why Sponsor? Each year, the National Inventors Hall of Fame honors new Inductees with events culminating in our annual Induction Ceremony at the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). This reverent affair not only hails the outstanding achievements of U.S. patent holders but also brings those men and women together with fellow innovators, corporate leaders, and members of the public who congratulate them. • Increase your brand recognition by partnering with elite organizations across multiple industries • Build strategic connections with industry leaders and innovators • Align your business with an extraordinary national event Presenting Sponsor -­‐ $200,000 ($195,600 tax-­‐deductible; fully tax-­‐deductible with no attendees) • Positioning as Presenting Sponsor alongside the USPTO with prominent logo recognition on all National Inventors Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony and Events collateral materials, signage, and program • Presenting Sponsor recognition alongside the USPTO on all press releases and press kits • The right to use “Proud Sponsor of the National Inventors Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony and Events” icon on corporate web and print materials for 12 months • Sponsor logo in the National Inventors Hall of Fame on the USPTO campus for one year • Sponsor logo recognition on www.invent.org • Recognition on social media with tags to Facebook and Twitter pages • Recognition in the Invent Now 2015 Annual report Monday, May 11, 2015 -­‐ National Inventors Hall of Fame Inductee Enshrinement Ceremony Hosted by: National Inventors Hall of Fame on the campus of the USPTO, Alexandria, VA The Inductee Enshrinement will feature 2015 Inductees officially placing their names in the Gallery of Icons, joining the National Monument to Innovation.
