Please consider sponsoring Ideas to Profits. Our conference fees mainly cover consumables (food, booklets, etc.) and a small part of the overhead, but thousands in costs remain. WISC, a non-profit business outreach center of UW-Whitewater College of Business and Economics, operates the conference as a public service, not as a fund-raiser. Also, some of the sponsor funds go to provide scholarships for entrepreneurial-minded college students to attend the conference. 

Sponsoring conferences provides valuable exposure for your company or organization. Not only will you have the chance to be a partner in supporting business in Wisconsin, but you will also have the opportunity to network with entrepreneurs, inventors and innovative business owners at the Innovation, Commercialization and Profitability Trade Show.
