Now, more than ever, we must seize the opportunity to empower future generations of leaders and entrepreneurs. Through exploring the theme of “Imagination,” we are entering a space of possibility, which can only be achieved when we join together for a common purpose.

Sponsorship allows for more innovative programming, higher diversity among attendees, and a unique opportunity to support our future students. By believing in our students, we are investing in the future of the world. From here, there is no limit to what we can achieve.

The Spotlight Sponsor is the official sponsor of the Gala Dinner. Your organization’s generosity will be directly responsible for the closing gala of this communal week, which brings together all speakers, attendees, and sponsor to celebrate a successful week of entrepreneurship. This unique opportunity will enable your organization to demonstrate its support and commitment to the students and local businesses that comprise the Washington, DC entrepreneurial economy. It will also allow for your organization to promote yourself as a partner of ICSB via social media, press, and media channels. Through this sponsorship, your organization will become a partner of ICSB and demonstrate support for entrepreneurs and small businesses.
For those who wish to demonstrate their support, regard, and commitment to small businesses and students in the Washington, DC metro area, the Synergy Sponsor allows for key decision makers in the local economy to join forces at the GW October Entrepreneurship Week. The generosity of the Synergy Sponsor contributes to the success of the conference and its mission to support the next generation of entrepreneurs as they start their careers.
Individual events that comprise the GW October Entrepreneurship Week make up the backbone of the conference. The Feature Sponsor contributes the support necessary to ensure that the attendees are empowered at every turn and every occasion by partnering with ICSB on an event–whether it be a coffee break or a panel–to ensure that the ICSB mission is carried out at every event.
The Forward Sponsor demonstrates their commitment to empowering students and local businesses on their entrepreneurial journeys through supporting the GW October Entrepreneurship Week and its mission to showcase students, future leaders, and knowledge by exploring the theme of Imagination.
The Imagine Sponsors will be a part of one of the most important aspects of this historic event.

As an Imagine Sponsor, you are directly affecting the life of a student and/or small business owner by providing them with the opportunity to attend the 2021 GW October Entrepreneurship Week at a discounted or free rate. These students and small business owners are the future of small businesses and entrepreneurship in the DC area.
