gets 3,200 attendees from 35+ countries and sold out in 2007 and
2008
-In past years, the Eclipse Foundation has purchased a
Plug-in sponsorship and then member companies took turns staffing the
booth
-Plug-in sponsorship (the lowest level) is 3,000 eur and
gives a pedestal in the exhibition hall, logo in the printed program
and logo on the website
-Bumping up a level to
Base sponsorship is 7,800 eur and adds booth space of 6 sqm, a list
of conference participants (name, company, country only – no
emails), 4 conference passes and an insert in the newsletter
-Eclipse budgeted for
Plug-in sponsorship but would need volunteers to staff 17 two-hour
slots at the booth
-Extra funds to move up
to
Base sponsorship would have to come from members sharing the cost
-Last year we had 5
people
from 5 member companies volunteer, but they each had to take 3-4
shifts
Send Lynn email if you
can participate - we'd need around 4-5 volunteers to cover the shifts
