Community Sponsors go above and beyond general membership support of the ATC and the technology community through generous financial and leadership contributions. This exclusive group is afforded ongoing strategic company positioning in tandem with a wide variety of ATC programs and marketing efforts throughout the year.
Visionary Sponsors go above and beyond the general membership support of the ATC through their commitment to promoting the international technology community. These sponsors reflect the international presence of the Austin Technology Council and its members. This exclusive group of supporters represents international consulates and facilitators working with the Austin technology community and local partners to further international presence.
Technology Sponsors are large corporate technology leaders (> 1,000 employees) which represent the backbone of Austin's technology market; the champions of the industry who support the growth and success of technology locally, nationally, and internationally. These leaders are not only sponsoring a vital organization, but also creating valuable company visibility and local market presence. Technology Sponsors are exposed to opportunities for partnerships, business development, recruitment, retention of talent, and community involvement.
Preferred Vendor Sponsors are service provider members who receive advertising and marketing promotion through the Austin Technology Council. ATC, working closely with our associate community members seeks solutions to critical member needs. Once we identify a need for a particular service, we review relevant companies in the industry, invite proposals, and ultimately select preferred service providers for our members. Key selection criteria include commitment to the community marketplace, presence, and customer satisfaction. Essential within any program is that its components comprise a unique offering---one that has value-added elements that are exclusive to ATC members.
Partner Sponsors are organizations who donate resources or services in return for recognition and marketing by the Austin Technology Council. Partnering with the Austin Technology Council as an in-kind sponsor, providing the products and services ATC needs at no cost, benefits Partner Sponsors by providing broad access to the Austin technology community. Partner Sponsors receive ATC member benefits as well as access to the ATC website and newsletter to leverage its advertising and marketing dollars.
