Sponsors play a vital role in making this event possible—not only through financial support but also as active members of our thriving community. While the UGIM Symposium occurs only once every two years, the connections and collaborations fostered here last year-round. Why UGIM? Participants include faculty, managers, and technical staff of university, government, and industry research labs across the US - as well as our sponsor exhibitors. Our 2024 symposium hosted ~300 attendees representing over 100 organizations.

This year’s event will feature an expanded global reach, with not only attendees from across the U.S., but also the newly established Global Nano Network, ensuring strong international participation. Additionally, we are planning an adjunct meeting aimed at staff affiliated with Microelectronics Commons Hub facilities, offering further opportunities to connect with stakeholders on CHIPS initiatives.

New for 2026: The exhibit hall will be open to non-conference attendees on an "exhibit-only" basis, aimed at providing you with opportunities to engage local clients, attract new prospects, and expand your professional network. In addition, we will have a vendor showcase featuring lightning talks, where you can share your latest and greatest. We invite you to explore our sponsorship opportunities.

Sponsor UGIM 2026 & Connect with Leading Minds. Join us at the Alumni Center, just 15 minutes' walk from Stanford’s labs (Allen, Spilker, McCullough, Shriram) and a short shuttle ride from SLAC's Quantum Foundry. The conference and exhibit spaces are seamlessly connected on the ground floor (see below), with meals and breaks hosted in the exhibit areas and adjacent breezeway—facilitating an event flow that is perfect for fostering deep technical discussions.
