Sponsorship of 2023 IEEE Computer Society’s Digital Platforms and Societal Harms event is an opportunity for organizations to be visible as positive stakeholders in addressing digital harms and creating a safer online world.
The event focuses on solutions to Hate Speech, Extremism, Exploitation, Misinformation, and Disinformation, some of the most pressing societal harms amplified through digital platforms. Participants will hear insights from experts developing cutting-edge technical solutions, learn how governments and civil society are tackling these challenges, and consider public policy experts’ recommendations for the future. These sessions will be available both in-person in Washington DC, and to our online audience.
This year, there are three types of on-site branding opportunities: Gold Sponsorship, Silver Sponsorship and Bronze Sponsorship. These sponsors will all be recognized at the official event website, and are allowed to set up a stall at the event, where they may speak with participants, showcase products or services, and distribute marketing material. In addition, there are two special types of sponsorship: Student Attendance Sponsorship for universities and Local Event Sponsorship for IEEE Sections and Chapters.

This offer closes on September 15th, 2023.
Local Event Sponsorship: $200 (open until September 4th)
This sponsorship is only available to IEEE Sections and IEEE Chapters and allows you to run a local event with your attendees to watch and discuss any of the panels together. This may be done live, or by watching the recording at any time within 2 weeks of the event.
Please note that Local Event Sponsorship allows one online account and also requires a report on attendance numbers and a photograph be sent to the organizers. This is in addition to the requirements to submit an L31 form for your section/chapter activity.
A Local Event Sponsor may provide the event to participants for free, or may charge (and keep) an entry fee to cover the associated costs (e.g. the $200 registration, room hire, catering and other expenses).
This offer closes on September 11th, 2023.
