Sponsorship Opportunities
Would your company be interested in sponsoring ICCCN 2009?
Sponsorship opportunities are available at all levels. We would like to invite you to sponsor the ICCCN 2009 conference which is to be held in San Francisco in August 2009. ICCCN 2009 has been approved for technical co-sponsorship by IEEE (ComSoc) and is a reputed conference in its 18th year. The papers and presentations are excellent; the acceptance rate in 2008 was around 25%.
Would your company be interested in sponsoring events such as the Tutorial Program, a Distinguished Invited Talk or Student Best Paper award etc. at the conference? Or you could be listed as a sponsor for the entire conference. We know sponsorship funds may be tight this year — however, ICCCN 2009 is a worthwhile conference which will bring leading experts to the Bay area and maybe of interest to you.
