Since 1988 SIGAda has annually sponsored the largest Ada Conference and Exposition in the world, and the only one held in the U.S. Previously known as Tri-Ada, the SIGAda ’98 Conference and Exposition will attract several hundred key Ada decision-influencers, managers, and technical personnel from all sectors of industry, academia and the government. Attendees come from around the world to learn the most recent information about Ada technology, policy, and usage, and to get "hands-on" experience with new Ada products in the exhibition hall.

If your organization is exhibiting at SIGAda ’98, there are a number of opportunities available that will increase your publicity and exposure, and maximize your return on investment in the conference.
 
 

Corporate Sponsorships
 

Corporate Sponsorships allow you to maximize visibility for your company, its products and its services. Benefits include a FREE Conference Registration in addition to the registrations that are part of the standard exhibitor packages.

Types of Corporate Sponsorships available:

CORPORATE SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

 
 
 

EVENT SPONSORSHIPS
 

As a SIGAda ’98 event sponsor, your company will get the exposure it wants as well as the appreciation it deserves. Promote your company where attendees will be sure to notice! Attendees have made the investment of time and money to attend; they are serious! Capture their valuable attention by sponsoring one of the following events: (Co-Sponsorship with Ada Core Technologies) First impressions are lasting impressions! Here’s your opportunity to impress attendees at the first social event of the Conference! Ada Core Technologies is again producing and sponsoring the production of the show which will be a sequel to last year’s hit of the conference. The co-sponsorship would be for the food, beverage and decor. Sponsorship includes: While conference attendees are being presented with a large amount of intense information, why not give them a break! Refreshment breaks allow attendees to relax, network informally with associates, and talk in a casual setting. Sponsorship includes:

 

MERCHANDISE SPONSORSHIPS
 
 

Because registration is the first stop for everyone, it is also the best opportunity to supply everyone with a bag carrying your company’s logo. Every attendee will be a walking advertisement both at the Conference and Exposition, and back at the office when they put your tote to daily use. Sponsorship includes: See your company’s name around every attendee’s neck! This is a cost-effective way to keep your company’s name in front of every attendee throughout the Conference, and many will use them at other conferences too. Sponsorship includes: Based on interest expressed by exhibitors, additional Merchandise Sponsorship opportunities will be made available.
 
  SPONSORSHIP BENEFITS
 



ADVERTISING OPPORTUNITIES

 
 
  Distributed to all SIGAda ’98 conference attendees and exhibitors, and also mailed out to the SIGAda membership as an issue of Ada Letters, the proceedings will be a lasting reference long after the Conference is over. Keep your company name and message in front of key buyers all year long.
  The SIGAda ’98 Final Program & Exhibits Guide will be in the hands of everyone who attends the Conference and Exhibition. This Guide is the primary reference source for attendees -- referred to over and over again both during and after the show. Don’t miss this opportunity to double your exposure at the show and reinforce your presence long after SIGAda ’98 has ended.
          Additional for two color $ 500 The SIGAda ’98 Web Page offers immediate and continuous exposure. You will reach those on the leading-edge of the hi-tech community. And, remember, your message will be read by everyone who reads the SIGAda page, not only those who register for the conference. An ideal way to maximize exposure when you combine this with one of the other advertising or sponsorship options.
