SESUG Corporate Sponsorship Program
|
|
|
|
SESUG is about making the most from your investment. For our attendees it is a learning investment - not to learn just about SAS, but about products and services that will enhance their professional lives. For our sponsors this translates into an opportunity to meet a group of bright and dedicated professionals - a group of professionals there to learn about your company and your services.
The SESUG Corporate Sponsorship Program is designed to help you maximize your investment! This well-established program provides an excellent opportunity for you to promote your company and services to hundreds of SAS System professionals. Our attendees cover a broad spectrum of business, government and academia. They cover a broad range of backgrounds from programmers to analysts to researchers to managers and they provide a perfect opportunity for you.
Enhance your investment and visibility at the conference by presenting a paper. Abstracts will be accepted from February 18th until April 14th. Papers must have technical content that would be of interest to our attendees and they must be selected by the section chairs.
In addition to the benefits that we have had in the past, this year Platinum Sponsors, Gold Sponsors, and Exhibitors will be provided one or more time slots for presentations in a small theater in the demo room. The time slots will be 20 minutes with 10 minutes between presentations. Check the program benefits chart below to see the number of presentation slots allotted at each program benefit level.
We realize that you want to make the most of your marketing and sponsorship dollars, so it is our goal to help you maximize your company’s exposure relative to your sponsorship commitment. Please review the benefits chart below and don’t hesitate to let us know how we can improve this program.
