TPAC 2008

TPAC 2008 Sponsorship Package

From 20 - 24 October 2008, W3C will convene for TPAC 2008 in Cannes-Mandelieu (France). We anticipate 300 attendees will enjoy the week-long collaborative event, including decision-makers, senior technologists, and architects driving the technical directions in corporate and research environments. In 2007, four W3C Members (BEA, Cisco, IBM, and Nokia) took advantage of the TPAC 2007 Sponsorship Package. This year's package has been updated and we hope is even more attractive. We invite W3C Members to take advantage of this sponsorship opportunity to showcase your organization and your commitment to W3C and the development of open Web standards.

The following sponsorship levels are available:

• Platinum
• Gold
• Silver

To take advantage of this opportunity, we invite W3C Members to:

• Let us know if you are interested by sending email to Ian Jacobs <ij@w3.org>, cc <w3t-comm@w3.org>.
• Read and complete the W3C TPAC 2008 Sponsorship Agreement following the instructions in the Agreement for signing and returning to W3C/ERCIM. The Agreement also includes payment options and instructions.

The deadline for sponsorships is 5 October 2008. The deadline to have logos appear on the T-shirt is 26 September at 12pm ET.

We also invite W3C Members to contact us with additional benefit ideas. If approved, new benefits will be made available to existing and future sponsors.
