Become a Sponsor of PDS 2013

Sponsorships are an integral part of achieving AIChE’s goal of advancing the profession of chemical engineering.  Sponsorship support helps keep registration costs low to allow key employees from throughout industry to take part in best practice discussions for project success. The audience at the Process Development Symposium is very well informed and will be discussing state-of-the-art technology.

AIChE is offering targeted sponsorship opportunities to ensure you are recognized during the Symposium. While no overt commercialism is allowed within the meeting rooms, you will be able to provide attendees with valuable information during breaks in the technical sessions.  The available sponsorships are listed below. Everyone at AIChE, and all those who attend, appreciate your interest and support.

Please contact sales@aiche.org with any questions and to verify the availability of a particular sponsorship.
