Start-ups are allowed to participate in the ONA Start-Up Alley a maximum of two times. Application and conversation are required.<\/p>\n Accepted groups will receive one full conference pass. The Start-Up Alley will be promoted as an official part of ONA25. Physical signage will be onsite highlighting the Start-Up Alley, as well as a tabletop area in the Midway for the groups to use as a shared networking space starting the evening of Wednesday, Sept. 10 through Friday, Sept. 13. (This tabletop area will be labeled on the interactive map in the ONA25 app.) Additionally, there will be a dedicated session block on the official ONA25 agenda promoting the Start-Up Alley, encouraging attendees to visit that tabletop area to learn about each of the groups.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][\/vc_tta_tabs][vc_raw_html]JTNDYSUyMGlkJTNEJTIyQWRkaXRpb25hbE9wcG9ydHVuaXRpZXMlMjIlM0UlM0MlMkZhJTNF[\/vc_raw_html][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_column][\/vc_column][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n The following opportunities are available with or without an ONA25 sponsor package.
