ASDF

The Association of Scientists, Developers and Faculties (ASDF) enters into agreements of Technical Sponsorship with selected conference organizing committees as one means of promoting activities of interest to its members. This page describes what the ASDF defines as ‘Technical Sponsorship’ of a conference. This page also outlines procedures through which the Society agrees to Technical Sponsorship with the conference organizers and how the Society and the conference organizers implement that agreement.

The objective is both to:

  • Improve the assistance the Society provides to conference organizers with which it agrees to be in cooperation-with, and,
  • Gain greater international visibility, as well as membership, for the Society through technical sponsorship of these conferences.

Each sponsorship proposal is very important to the Society and is given full and serious consideration. Each proposal is evaluated by the Governing Body before it presents a recommendation to the Founder for final consideration. Of course the Governing Body and the Founder will evaluate those items that are basic to any conference co-sponsorship proposal (e.g., the experience/expertise of the conference organizers, other organizations that are sponsoring/co-sponsoring the conference, the availability of Society resources to support this sponsorship, etc.).

For the ASDF, one of the most important questions the Governing Body, and eventually the Founder, will have is:

“How does this conference align-with the Objectives of Association of Scientists, Developers and Faculties?”

This point means that a sponsorship proposal should demonstrate how the conference falls within the Society’s Objectives. A proposal’s chance-of-success is increased when there is a high percentage of topics and/or sessions that address the Objectives. Conversely, a proposal’s chance-of-success is reduced when there are relatively few topics and/or sessions that addresses the Objectives of the Society. Here is a sampling of conference topics and session topics that are present in conferences that the ASDF sponsors or co-sponsors:

  • Accreditation and assessment
