Why sponsor SCL?
The Society for Computers and Law (SCL) is a registered educational charity, and therefore sponsorship of SCL can also be described as a charitable donation. Your support of SCL means that the Society can meet its charitable objectives, maintain its student schemes, and continue to educate and support our tech law community. Sponsorship packages will vary according to each event and are advertised ahead of time on the SCL website.

Hosts providing a suitable venue and refreshments and in return receive:

• The opportunity to provide a Chair or speaker for the event

• The chance to be published on the SCL website by writing a meeting report after the event
• 4 free places at the event for your colleagues
• The opportunity to welcome others interested in tech law issues, including in-house counsel, to your offices (it doesn't hurt to show them that you really do have state-of-the-art facilities).

Host a hybrid SCL event - £650 + VAT

We are so excited to be able to offer the majority of our events as hybrid. However - there's a hybrid event and then there's a really good hybrid event. If you are really interested in hosting an event but don't have all of the hybrid equipment listed here, we have the solution!

SCL has partnered with the media department at St Mary’s University Twickenham to produce really good hybrid events. The cost of this tech support is £650 and is available where your organisation doesn’t have state-of-the-art facilities for running hybrid events. As a huge thank you, sponsors will all receive a high quality copy of the event recording to share with colleagues and clients.
