Sponsorship Information
TCUF participants (Sponsors, Education Session Speakers, or their Guests) are not permitted to attend, host, or promote any event that conflicts with a TCUF scheduled event. This includes, but is not limited to: private activities, dinners, parties, cocktail hours, etc.
If you are unable to secure a sponsorship, please fill out the waitlist form to be added to the list. As sponsorship spots become available, waitlist submissions will be evaluated by submission order and sponsorship level preference to be offered open sponsorship spots.
Payment is due when sponsorship is secured.
Unlike previous years, full payment is due at the time of purchase to complete your transaction and secure your sponsorship level. If necessary, please contact your credit card company in advance to ensure a smooth checkout process. Any delays may result in loss of your sponsorship spot.
Sponsorship opportunities are offered on a first-come, first-served basis, and are usually filled within 15 minutes of becoming available.
The number of attendees associated with each Sponsorship level is the maximum number of people that can attend with a particular sponsor.
Conference Education Sessions
The rate for Industry Session Speakers is $775.
Industry attendees associated with a Conference Session are not counted against the number of attendees included with a Sponsorship level (if applicable).
For example: if your Sponsorship level includes five (5) attendees, but someone from your organization has been accepted to speak on a Conference Session Panel, that person is not counted toward the five (5) spots associated with your Sponsorship level. As a result, your organization will have six (6) people in attendance at the conference.
Each Session proposal submission must include a Speaker from the associated institution. Each team can have a maximum of two (2) industry professionals for every institutional representative. The industry professionals included in the submission application do not have to be associated with a firm that holds a Sponsorship spot.
The submission deadline for Conference Education Session proposals is May 1, 2026. The selection process for the Conference Education Sessions will take approximately 1-2 months.
