| Colocated event sponsorship | It is also possible to sponsor particular co-located conferences or workshops. See the 'Tracks' menu above for these, and reach out to their organizers, who will in turn contact the ICSE-2025 general and finance chairs, once they have negotiated sponsorship arrangements with you. For smaller sponsorships one option is for you to directly pay certain bills of these events (e.g. the restaurant bill for a social event, or travel expenses for a speaker). Co-located events will offer their sponsors publicity and perhaps free entry for at least one person to their event. | ||||

Payment and Invoicing
We have set up an automated system to arrange for you to enter details of your sponsorship. One of the general chairs will send you the link to the automated system after you contact them. We cannot publish the link here as to ensure all gathered data is legitimate. Once you have entered the information, the system will produce further guidance about the details of the benefits and how to take advantage of them. It will also issue an invoice to you. Payment of your invoice will be to the Continuing Professional Development team at the University of Ottawa (in the Faculty of Medicine), which is managing conference finances.
