9th Annual SURA ViDe Digital Video Conference Sponsor & Exhibitor Opportunities |
| This conference is co-hosted by the Southeastern Universities Research Association (SURA) and the Video Development Initiative (ViDe) through the SURA nonprofit corporation. The first SURA ViDe Digital Video workshop was held in March 1999 and brought together a community of digital video experts and academic practitioners, passionate to share their knowledge and experience to spur the development of digital video over IP. Since that time, the event has grown to an annual conference of recognized value for attendees, presenters, exhibitors and sponsors – still bringing development and practice together and leveraging both to shape and catalyze the future of digital video for research and education.
The 9th annual SURA ViDe Digital Video Conference will be held March 26-28, 2007 at the Georgia Tech Conference Center in Atlanta, Georgia. The evolving program can be seen at http://www.vide.net/conferences/spr2007/program. (Past years’ programs are available on the ViDe Web site as well, http://www.vide.net, under Sponsored Conferences). Your company’s association with this event presents an exciting opportunity to demonstrate your support and understanding of this technology’s value and future and to have your product(s) seen by those immediately and directly involved with digital video on campuses, in research, and in industry.
To provide optimal sponsor visibility, a limited number of corporate sponsorships are being offered at the levels listed below. Exhibitor-only space is also available.

SURA ViDe Digital Video Conference Exhibitor Opportunity
The Exhibition area will be on the second floor of the Georgia Tech Hotel and Conference Center. Based on its success at other conferences, we will position the exhibits around the edges of the main plenary room, thus integrating the exhibitors into the conference more. We have included exhibitor "open mic" sessions which will provide our exhibitors with time to give a brief introduction of their company, products, and services. Throughout the breaks and free time, exhibitors will have easy access to the attendees.
Exhibitor spaces are available at $600 each. Each space will include a six-foot table, skirting, an electrical outlet, two chairs and a 100 MB Internet Connection if requested. The exhibit area has full wireless capabilities. [Conference registration is not included in the $600 registration fee.] |
