	AAAI 2021 and IJCAI 2019 had sponsorship rates that were twice as high as ACL 2020. We considered raising our sponsorship rates to match, but ended up keeping the rates similar to our previous year. The rationale is that we have multiple conference each year when we include the main ACL conference, the chapter conferences and EMNLP. Although the rates for each individual conference is lower than some other peer conferences, we want sponsors to be able to sponsor multiple of our conferences in the same year. The aggregate total sponsorship from large sponsors tend to be similar to or surpass the higher rates of single-conference organizations.

Although the rates for each individual conference is lower than some other peer conferences, we want sponsors to be able to sponsor multiple of our conferences in the same year. The aggregate total sponsorship from large sponsors tend to be similar to or surpass the higher rates of single-conference organizations. (We offer a 20% discount for sponsoring multiple of our conferences. We call this a "multi-pack" sponsorship.)

	Another consideration was the cost for exhibition space. Last year we quickly shifted from in-person to online conferences. We offered all sponsors complimentary exhibition space. This year, we decided to keep complimentary exhibition space as a differentiating factor for the higher sponsorship levels, and allow exhibition space to be purchased by other sponsors. We kept the exhibition space rate the same for both in-person and virtual conferences.		Another consideration was the cost for exhibition space.
