Sponsorship & Exhibitor information

Corporate Sponsor/Exhibitor Registration

Sponsor/Exhibitor Registration is Open!

The Western Association of Graduate Schools (WAGS) cordially invites you to attend and become a sponsor of the 64th Annual Meeting, March 21–23, 2022. This year's conference will be held entirely online in a virtual conference setting.

Virtual Conference
This year’s conference will be offered entirely virtually on a fully encompassing platform made for the desktop. The platform will allow attendees and exhibitors to interact in many of the ways we’re used to (1:1 meetings) but also create new opportunities for connecting (virtual exhibitor booths, online conference promotional opportunities, pre and post-conference networking, attendee chat boards, banner logo recognition and lead retrieval).
