Sponsorship Opportunities

(click here to download a .pdf version of the sponsor-exhibitor brochure)
As a corporate sponsor, your company gets its logo on our promotional material, the conference web site, and at the event itself. Your company also gets mentioned in direct mail and other promotional advertising and on the web site. Three types of sponsorship are available:

• Media Sponsorship (for Media and Analysts Organizations).
• Organization Sponsorship (for Trade Associations).
• Corporate Sponsorship (for Hardware/Software and Service suppliers).
• Event Sponsorship (Lunches, Breaks, Sessions, Receptions, etc.).

Conference Sessions and Topics
The conference sessions are still being put together and reviewed by the advisory committee for the 2008 conference. We are interested in suggestions for topics and sessions that are timely, stimulating and especially, visionary.
