Signature Events Sponsorship Opportunities
The University of Georgia College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences (CAES) believes partnerships between the university and industry are vital to our mission. Through our Signature Events Sponsorship Program, we offer tailored engagement opportunities based on your organization's interests and needs. Through this collaboration, industry partners provide financial support that benefits students, researchers and communities around the world.
CAES Signature Events represent our largest annual events, showcasing our outstanding faculty contributions, fostering community and industry collaboration, and spotlighting the college's impact on a global scale.
