SESUG ‘99

Corporate Sponsorship Program

October 31 - November 3, 1999

Adam’s Mark Hotel

Mobile, Alabama

The SouthEast SAS User’s Group is excited to offer you an opportunity to participate in our Corporate Sponsorship Program that supports SESUG year round – culminating with our annual conference. This program provides an excellent opportunity for you to promote your company to an anticipated 400 SAS System professionals. This year, we are targeting our efforts at not only the technical staff that works with the SAS System but also the executives and managers who oversee these implementations.

We realize that you want to make the most of your marketing and sponsorship investment and we think this is a great opportunity for you to reach hundreds of SAS professionals in a focused way. We have structured the program this year to make sure that you will get as much opportunity for good exposure relative to your sponsorship commitment.

The conference begins Sunday night with a Halloween Party, continuing on Monday morning with Hands-On-Workshops, and five concurrent sessions from Monday afternoon through Wednesday at noon. The Sunday workshops and the Executive Golf Tournament provide activity for early arrivals. Monday night we will unwind and relax at the Gulf Coast Exploreum, Mobile’s premiere interactive showplace for science and technology.

All levels of sponsorship are entitled to receive: In addition, Platinum, Gold and Silver sponsors each may receive:

For a more exclusive recognition, your company can choose to sponsor an entire event at which time your company will be solely identified as the provider of that event.

The participation of 2 to 3 Platinum sponsors for the major events will allow us to keep the cost of the conference registration fees in line with other venues. Each of the Platinum, Gold and Silver sponsors may wish to sponsor more than one event.

The vendor display area will enable you to highlight any applications that you have developed or products of interest to SAS professionals. This year, the vendor area may be located in the same room as the SAS Institute demonstrations. In the past, 90% of conference attendees have visited the Demo Room.
