About UGIM

Connect with the Heart of Nanofacilities Research at UGIM

The UGIM Symposium is the signature event for micro/nano facilities, bringing together approximately 300 leading researchers, facility managers, and technical experts—representing over 100 organizations from university nanofacilities, government labs, non-profits, and industry R&D teams. While the conference is primarily U.S.-based, UGIM fosters a growing global community, with year-round engagement through the MIT LabNetwork.

As a sponsoring exhibitor, you’ll gain direct access to the operational leaders and decision-makers who shape the future of nanofacilities. Unlike larger trade shows, UGIM offers an intimate setting where meaningful connections thrive—with ample breaks, an exhibit layout designed for interaction, and plenty of opportunities for in-depth conversations. For the first time, UGIM will advertise and invite exhibit-only attendees, thereby expanding the audience beyond the registered conference attendees to local stakeholders from other Silicon Valley research and prototyping facilities; sponsor exhibitors can also distribute exhibit-only invitations.

Whether you provide cutting-edge equipment, essential services, or high-value consumables, UGIM is the ideal platform to engage with your most relevant audience. Join us and build lasting relationships with the researchers and facility professionals who rely on your solutions every day.
