 SponsorshipWith an expected attendance of about 400, the European Conference on
    	Machine Learning and European Conference on Principles and Practice of

 We welcome industrial and local organizations to support the conference,
    	the Student Travel Award Program, and dedicated events.
 
 Sponsorship will be acknowledged on our web page, the conference program,
    	and the proceedings. Sponsors are welcome to distribute giveaways - e.g.,
    	T-shirts, pens - to the participants. It is also possible to include flyers
    	in the conference material.
 
 
 Student Travel AwardsWe plan to provide travel awards to PhD student authors of accepted
    	conference papers. If you are interested in supporting this program, we will
    	forward your contribution to selected student authors of accepted papers.
    	Your support will be visible to the awardee and you will be able to contact
    	the author, for instance, at the poster session.
 
 Support of EventsWe plan to organize two poster receptions and a banquet. We invite
    	companies to sponsor a reception or dinner.  Sponsorship of an event
    	will be clearly visible.
