W3C Sponsorship

Sponsorship Packages

This document outlines the three W3C10 sponsorship packages:

  1. Member/Host Package
  2. Media Package
  3. Courtesy Package (non-Members)

Whatever the package, W3C10 sponsorship was a marketing opportunity that enabled sponsors to showcase their organization and underscore its commitment to the shared goals of the W3C. Sponsors reached those who are making decisions about the future of the Web, as well as those in the public who have come to rely on the Web as critical infrastructure for commerce and communication. W3C10 sponsors were associated directly with the organization that has been the center for development of Web standards for 10 years, and which — with your leadership — is engineering the foundation for the Web of tomorrow.

Sponsorship Deadline

The deadline for requesting to take part in this opportunity was 21 November 2004. Organizations committing earlier than this date were associated with the event during the early press activity.
