Sponsorship Opportunities

The Center for International Business Education and Research CIBER at the Robert H. Smith School of Business and University of Maryland is intended to be a national resource center for teaching, research, and outreach in international business and related disciplines. The overarching purpose of CIBER is to enhance the international competitiveness of Maryland and United States business.

In pursuit of its purpose, the Smith School CIBER organizes seminars and conferences aimed at business executives, university faculty, and other key constituencies. These events offer a unique opportunity to share affiliation with a dynamic educational institution at the intersection of cutting-edge trends in globalization, technology, and entrepreneurship.

WHO WILL ATTEND?

Participants in our seminars and conferences are decision makers, thought leaders, and others seeking and sharing new information and new solutions to business issues. Sponsors of these events have the opportunity to position their organizations as thought leaders in areas of vital relevance to our audiences, to showcase their own expertise, and to build relationships that can drive their business.
