SpaceUp brings together the space community’s brightest engineers,  advocates, entrepreneurs, scientists, and students; the people that are doing the hard work, solving real problems, building the next great thing. Sponsors help this community in a very direct and visible way.

SpaceUp is run by volunteers who aim to create a wonderful event for all who choose to participate. There is only a nominal cost for participants but, thanks to the generosity of sponsors, we provide free breakfast, lunch, snacks, and T-shirts. At the event, sponsorship lets everyone you meet know that your company has stepped up as an important supporter of SpaceUp.

Sponsorships are flexible

If you’d like to contribute an amount other than the three listed above, we can work with you to find a set of sponsorship benefits that meet your objectives while staying in the spirit of SpaceUp.

Please note that under no circumstances is the exclusive attention of SpaceUp participants for sale. Anyone, sponsor or not, is welcome to promote themselves with a talk or demo, but participants are not likely to watch advertisements when they can easily attend or create a different session. If you’re a sponsor, the SpaceUp organizing team will be happy to lend you our expertise so you can participate in a way that respects SpaceUp and satisfies your goals.

SpaceUp is hosted by the San Diego Space Society, a 501(3)(c) non-profit organization, so donations and sponsorships will be tax deductible to the full extent allowed by law.
