Corporate Affiliate Opportunities

Are you AAEEBL?

The Association for Authentic, Experiential and Evidence-Based Learning offers companies an opportunity to donate to AAEEBL in one of three circles of support.  Through this support Corporate Affiliates gain opportunities, earn recognition in the eportfolio community, and help support AAEEBL’s mission of developing learners and transforming institutions with electronic portfolios.

AAEEBL is the professional association for the world eportfolio community with connections to eportfolio initiatives globally.  When you affiliate with AAEEBL, you become part of a valuable relationship and also increase your visibility in a targeted and self-selected eportfolio market.

As a Corporate Affiliate, your generosity is given back to the eportfolio community in the form of meaningful initiatives, events and valuable resources that help advance the field of eportfolios for teaching and learning.

To discuss being a Corporate Affiliate and its opportunities, contact Trent Batson.

Note: Corporate Affiliate opportunities differ distinctly from institutional membership benefits.  For example, institutional members receive discounts on conferences including the AAEEBL Annual ePortfolio Conference while Corporate Affiliates gain a wide array of other advantages and opportunities for supporting the eportfolio community through AAEEBL.  There is no discount or special fee for Corporate Affiliates to attend the AAEEBL Annual ePortfolio Conference.  Also, there is no free registration or discount fee for events that AAEEBL holds in collaboration with other organizations such as AAC&U.  Please refer to the lists above for Corporate Affiliate opportunities at different levels of giving.

Annual Conference Opportunities -- July 29 - August 1, 2013

Each year AAEEBL offers distinctive sponsorship opportunities aligned with its annual conference.  In 2013, the conference will be held in Boston at the Hynes Convention Center.  The following are opportunities for sponsorship:

  • Morning "coffee and..."on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
  • Poster Session Refreshments for AAEEBL attendees (1 opportunity - Tuesday or Wednesday).
  • Morning or afternoon tea, coffee and beverages.  (3 opportunities)
  • Attendee Bags -- donate conference bags -- sponsor provides bags with logo for stuffing with conference program and other materials.
  • Attendee Bag inserts with "swag" -- We are looking for more than just corporate flyers in 2013.  We are hoping to assemble fun conference bags for attendees with a variety of items in addition to flyers.  Ideas include pens, notebooks, thumb drives, and so on.  Please remember that all items for conference bags will need to be submitted by a specific date (to be announced) at a specific location in order to be included. 
  • Thank-you to ELUMEN for exclusive sponsorship of the AAEEBL Executive Summit which includes speaking time at the Summit and a reception for AAEEBL Board Members, Corporate Affiliates and Summit participants after the Summit – $10,000.
  • Sponsorship of a plenary speaker (5 opportunities).
  • Provide scholarships for student-presenters to have conference fees waived so they may attend and present with faculty.  ($2,000 - $5,000 support). 
Note: If you acquire a booth at the AAEEBL Annual Conference, it is important to specify that you are attending because of AAEEBL.  Exhibitors at this joint Campus Technology-AAEEBL Conference receive one pass to attend sessions.  This pass may be shared with more than one person, but only one pass is provided.

TBA -- Look for more opportunities to participate as a donor.  The Program Committee will be meeting during 2012-2013 to plan the conference.  For information about supporting AAEEBL through Annual Conference opportunities contact Trent Batson.
