AAAI-14 Sponsorship Program

Sponsorship Brochure and Contract

Québec City, Québec, Canada
July 27–31, 2014

On behalf of the Conference Committee of the Twenty-Eighth AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence, we invite you to participate in the sponsor program for AAAI-14. The conference will be held July 27–31, 2014 in Québec City, Québec, Canada, and is sponsored by the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI). The site of the conference will be the Québec City Convention Centre. Québec City, a UNESCO World Heritage Treasure, is North America's most European city, filled with museums and other historic attractions. Québec's beautiful Old Town (Vieux-Québec) is the only North American fortified city north of Mexico whose walls still exist. The convention center and conference hotel are only steps away from the historic section of Québec.

AAAI is the annual North American artificial intelligence conference, attracting about 1,000 AI researchers and practitioners, representing government, university and corporate research facilities from throughout the world. In 2014, AAAI is pleased to announce its co-location with a number of other AI-related conferences during the same time period in Québec City, including the 36th Annual Conference of the Cognitive Science Society, the Conference on Uncertainty in Artificial Intelligence, and the Artificial General Intelligence Conference. Your participation in the AAAI-14 Sponsor Program will give you instant visibility to this diverse group of AI professionals, representing a host of research areas such as robotics, AI and the web, cognitive systems, AI applications, computational sustainability and AI, human computation, interactive digital entertainment, education, and recommender systems.

As part of most levels of sponsorship, you will be provided with a table-top exhibit throughout the technical portion of the conference. This heightened visibility will provide an opportunity for one-on-one exchange with conference participants. Whether you want to showcase your intelligent technology to the AI community, or tap into this incredible source of talent, AAAI-14 is the premier venue to accomplish these goals.
