Sponsorship
CODS (also known as CODS-COMAD between 2018 and 2024) has been fortunate to have support from a number of sponsors over the years and the organizers have been extremely grateful to all sponsors. The conference would not have run for so many years while growing in scale without the help of these generous organizations. In particular, the sponsorships from the organizations have enabled us to provide grants to hundreds of students and support the travel of eminent keynote speakers to raise the quality and reach of the conference.
If your organization would like to sponsor CODS 2026, please refer to the below table about sponsorship rates and benefits.
Why should you sponsor?
- Recruitment: CODS provides multiple avenues for you to meet and recruit the best and brightest minds in the fields of data science, analytics, machine learning, artificial intelligence, and Big Data. Avenues include live talks and recorded videos, networking sessions, social gatherings, exhibition booths etc. to showcase your company & jobs.
- Branding: CODS is known as a home for leading industry innovations and high quality rigorously peer-reviewed research based out of India. Becoming a sponsor here is an opportunity for you to co-brand with the leading inventors from the community. This is a way for you to stay on top of minds for candidates that may look for their next place to work in a few months or years.
- Customers: In addition to facilitating recruitment and branding, CODS also provides an opportunity for you to reach out to your potential customers. Representatives from many companies and startups use the exhibition booth as well as networking sessions and social gatherings as a venue to advertise & meet new customers.
- Community: CODS has a vibrant and active community of researchers and practitioners. Your sponsorships help support the community of researchers that are working on cutting edge data-driven ideas, provide student travel grants, and host world-class speakers. Finally and quite explicitly, corporate sponsorship helps us keep the registration costs affordable for students and other attendees.
