Sponsorship Opportunities

 
The Williams Institute has designed a variety of event sponsorship opportunities that ensure the Institute meets its conference objectives, while also providing valuable promotional opportunities to our donors. Based at the UCLA School of Law and founded by a UCLA MBA graduate, our donors value the Williams Institute’s connection to one of the nation’s top law, policy and business schools. Past sponsors leverage their partnerships with the Williams Institute in both employee recruitment and client outreach. Below, we have provided detailed information on sponsorship opportunities.
 

Be an Angel!
 
If you're planning on registering for the conference, we also hope you'll consider the special angel rate of $1,000 below. By becoming a Conference Angel, you not only pay your registration fee for the entire conference but allow us to waive the registration fee or provide travel support for a conference attendee who otherwise may not be able to attend. We already have a number of lawyers, scholars, and advocates from around the world who are requesting assistance with paying the registration fee of for travel. Our Conference Angeles are what allow us to make this a truly international and inclusive conference on LGBT rights.

In addition, for information on customized Global Arc of Justice conference sponsorships opportunities, including becoming a conference Co-Convener, Plenary Panel Sponsor, or Speaker Sponsor, please contact Matt Strieker, Williams Institute Development Director at: strieker@law.ucla.edu or call (310) 206-0725.
