SPONSORSHIPS PLAN
Support Chemistry Education. Build Community. Join the Flock.
WHO WE ARE
The Biennial Conference on Chemical Education (BCCE) is a national gathering of chemistry educators, sponsored by the American Chemical Society’s Division of Chemical Education. Held every two years, BCCE brings together teachers, faculty, and education leaders to share ideas, spark collaborations, and strengthen the community of chemical education.
BCCE 2026 at the University of Wisconsin–Madison continues this tradition with a joyful, purposeful event focused on innovation, inclusion, and connection.
HOW IT WORKS
Sponsors may choose any combination of opportunities—from exhibit booths and refreshment breaks to receptions and digital outreach—to build a customized package that reflects your goals. Based on your total investment, you’ll be recognized at one of our seven sponsorship levels. Each level unlocks additional recognition and visibility.
In other words: you choose how to support, and we celebrate your total contribution with tiered benefits.
RECOGNITION TIERS
Every dollar spent on exhibits, experiences, or extras counts toward your total sponsorship investment. Based on that total, you’ll be recognized at one of the following levels and receive scaled benefits.
