We’re excited to invite your organization to become a sponsor for our 2025 Spring and Fall Conferences — both of which will be fully online. These virtual events provide a dynamic platform to connect with higher education professionals across the University of Illinois System.
This year, we’re introducing a streamlined Annual Sponsorship Package, giving your organization year-long visibility and engagement across two major virtual events under one cost-effective agreement.
Annual Sponsorship – $900
This package includes full sponsorship benefits for both our Spring and Fall conferences. It offers the best value and maximum exposure, with priority logo placement on the conference website, recognition in both event cycles, and access to attendee contact information (for those who opt-in). This package is ideal for organizations looking for year-round engagement with the University of Illinois audience.
All sponsors will receive:
- ✅ Sponsor Recognition at the Start of Sessions
Your sponsor-provided message will be read aloud at the beginning of selected presentations. - ✅ Acknowledgment During Opening & Closing Remarks
We’ll highlight your sponsorship during the event’s welcome and wrap-up sessions. - ✅ Pre-Conference Promotion
Your organization’s logo and link will be featured on the conference website and promotional materials leading up to the events. - ✅ Attendee Contact List
You’ll receive contact information for attendees (opt-in), enabling post-conference outreach and engagement.
CALL FOR PROPOSALS NOW OPEN!
The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign will host the IT Professionals Forum on June 11 and 12, 2025. This event will be fully online.
Proposals are due by 5:00 PM CDT Monday, April 21, 2025!
Submit a proposal electronically to have your topic considered for the conference. You will receive a notification of your proposal acceptance within two weeks after the deadline.
Please reference the tracks below when planning your presentation or workshop proposals:
- Hardware, Infrastructure, and Other Hands-On Technology
- Presentations are welcome on any topic, from virtualization to virtual reality, backups to backplanes, and layers one through six!
- Software, Security, Data, and DevOps
- Share your experiences with web applications, custom tools, IDEs, testing, deployments, monster datasets, or anything else that runs on IT systems.
- Process Management and Business Operations
- IT is inextricably intertwined with University business and strategic planning efforts. Presentations to help demystify those interactions benefit IT professionals all over campus.
- Accessibility, Communication, Collaboration, and Training
- The human touch is what makes our campus run. Do you have something to say about efforts for inclusivity and supporting your colleagues? We’d love to learn from you!
- Service/Unit Overviews and Updates
- Introduce your team to strengthen our community connectedness, or provide updates to prior unit-overview ITPF presentations.
- Anything Goes!
- If you have an IT-related topic that doesn’t seem to fit any of these tracks, we’d still love to hear your presentation at our Spring 2025 Forum!
And if you’re not sure about the track, you can always ask the committee to choose for you!
