Welcome to the RUOnlineCon 2024 Sponsor Toolkit, a guide to help answer any questions you may have about your sponsor benefits and next steps before the live event on March 11th.
The Hopin platform provides us with the opportunity to showcase our sponsors virtually in the conference expo hall and reception area throughout the event. On the day of the conference, sponsor teams will be able to navigate between their expo booth, the reception area, and attend all live sessions and networking activities. We hope this provides you and your team with a variety of opportunities to engage with other attendees throughout the event!
The following section indicates sponsor benefits based by tier and is provided for quick reference. If you have any additional questions related to sponsorship packages, please contact: sponsors-ruonlinecon@docs.rutgers.edu.

Recommended: 1000x400px Minimum: 500x200px - As a Platinum sponsor, you will be afforded the opportunity to collaborate with an instructor to develop a breakout session showcasing your product’s classroom application. We can facilitate the pairing with an instructor, either from Rutgers or elsewhere. Alternatively, should you already have a specific faculty partner in mind, you may initiate the collaborative effort with them. Your workshop will be included as a concurrent breakout session alongside other core RUOnlineCon workshops.
- As a Gold and Platinum sponsor, you will have the exclusive chance to shape the discourse on critical issues in online education. In these 50-minute “Digital Dialogues” sessions, you'll facilitate an interactive discussion with attendees around a key online learning challenge. With the support of our conference team and a skilled moderator, you will have the freedom to select a focus area for the discussion, and guide attendees in exploring potential solutions. Whether it's addressing low engagement in group work or finding effective strategies to encourage students to read course materials, you will have the opportunity to highlight how you might partner with instructors to help support meaningful student learning.
