We strive to keep this conference low-cost or free, if possible. To help maintain this approach, we are inviting external sponsors to support specific aspects of the conference, such as space bookings, meals, technology services, keynotes, printed materials, and accessibility features like American Sign Language interpretation.
TALKS offers sponsors visibility across a diverse MSU audience committed to educational improvement, as well as the opportunity to be associated with one of MSU’s most collaborative teaching events of the year.
We are grateful for the sponsors who invest in TALKS and support educators across roles at MSU. Their support strengthens our community and helps create an inclusive, energizing event for all participants.
Please email CTLI.TALKS@msu.edu for more sponsorship information.
In-kind sponsors are recognized based on the estimated value of their contribution (no more than $5,000 equivalence). All in-kind donations will be acknowledged appropriately. All sponsors and sponsorship must comply with MSU's sponsorship policy.
