Sponsorship
Engineering EXPO has become the largest student-run event of its kind across the nation. Since 1940, engineering students have run EXPO to showcase student and industry exhibits, along with several robotics and design competitions.
Engineering EXPO is not possible without the generous support of industry sponsors and community donations.

EXPO
Design a booth that lets students try something your company builds or solves!
An outstanding booth is one that involves kids in an interesting and interactive way. Some of our suggestions include:
- Building or design challenges
- Hands-on demo of a product or company challenge
- Q&A or trivia
- Giveaways
Please note that flying objects, including drones, are prohibited.

Industry Partnership
The Engineering EXPO technology exhibition has become the largest student-run event of its kind in the nation. Since 1940, engineering students have run EXPO to showcase student and industry exhibits, along with several robotics and design competitions. The next Engineering EXPO will be held April 16th and 17th, 2027.
EXPO is an excellent opportunity to gain visibility for your organization and build a relationship with the community. Your company will be a strong pillar in supporting many fields of engineering and their students, with the opportunity to demonstrate and promote its own innovative products, designs and research to over 10,000 UW students, faculty members, local K-12 students and members of the general public. Companies such as Ford, John Deere, 3M, Isthmus Engineering, Google, Epic and Caterpillar have all been a part of the Engineering EXPO tradition.
Important notes
- Exhibiting at EXPO is limited to partners at the Silver Level and above.
- Companies are encouraged to attend both days of EXPO, but 1-day exhibits can be accommodated upon request.
- While Engineering EXPO is not a formal recruiting event, participating will help your company connect with bright, enthusiastic engineering students across all disciplines.
- To have your logo featured on our volunteer shirts, you must commit to partnership by March 1st, 2027. We still accept partners after this date, but cannot guarantee your logo on the shirts.
