Sponsor the Fusion 2008 CEO-CIO Symposium
Build relationships with key executives
Your sponsorship of the Fusion 2008 CEO-CIO Symposium opens a door to networking and face-to-face discussions with IT and business executives. Fusion non-sponsor attendees in 2007 were 36% C-level executives and 49% IT Directors/Managers/Vice Presidents.
Fusion draws a well-rounded audience of decision makers including CIOs, CEOs, COOs and CFOs. Your sponsorship gives you access to sessions and networking to gauge what is on their minds and discuss their concerns in an intimate setting.
Executive attendance: Fusion consistently attracts business and technology leaders. Go beyond the individual sale and build strategic relationships with the executives who make platform decisions and set their organizations' technology direction.
Meetings: The top three sponsorship levels allow you to schedule executive meetings with small groups of attendees during the conference for strategic discussions.
Logo display: Your branding is included on a wide variety of materials including the Fusion 2008 web site, brochures, flyers, e-mail marketing, and signs and slides at the conference. Brand exposure depends on which sponsorship package you choose.
Client relations: We provide template letters to invite clients to Fusion 2008, as well as co-branded promotional PDFs and brochures with your logo to send out. Certain sponsorship levels also receive complimentary guest passes.
Conversation pieces: Fusion 2008 presenters are experts in their fields and deliver high-quality keynotes and panel discussions that give you something to talk about during generous networking breaks.
Targeted advertising: Your sponsorship includes a market development fund for an advertising campaign on Wisconsin Technology Network, the premier source for business technology news in the state with a significant
national and international readership.
