COMBI 2000

The conference is designed for key decision makers and end-users, those implementing combinatorial techniques, assessing technology choices and evaluating feasibility of the approach. No need to spend time screening the people you speak with; each person attending has the authority to make decisions about buying your products.

Particularly now, researchers are beginning to look at enabling technologies for maximizing the benefits of combinatorial approaches. Many questions remain, and they are looking to you for solutions. Companies which offer products and services related to instrumentation, assay development, chemical libraries, HTS equipment, laboratory automation tools,informatics technologies and contract research will find this networking opportunity particularly beneficial.

SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

There is no better way to provide exposure for your organization as leaders in the industry than through conference sponsorships. Among other benefits, most sponsorship packages also entitle you to receive prominent exposure on premarketing materials - exposing your company to 10's of thousands of prospects prior to the program - in addition to the highly targeted audience we deliver to the event itself.

Depending on the package, other benefits include:

• Free Exhibit Space
• Complimentary conference registrations
• Mailing labels for conference follow-up
• 8 1/2 black & white advertisement in the conference binder
• Signage in the meeting room
• Conference documentation
• Joint mailings of your own promotional materials
• Company logo on conference materials
• Web link from the Combi 2000 conference website

Conference Sponsorships
Four levels of conference sponsorships which offer incremental levels of visibility to conference delegates at the event -- as well as opportunities for marketing exposure prior to the event. Taking advantage of pre-conference options has the added benefit of getting your organization's name out to a larger group -- who may not have interest in the specific conference -- but may well want information on your company.

Networking Event Sponsorships
These "mini" sponsorships offer representatives of your organization a dedicated opportunity to network with conference delegates - with your organization clearly recognized as the host of the event.

• Cocktail Receptions
• Luncheons
• Dinner Banquets
• Hospitality Suites

Workshop Sponsorships
Your company may sponsor an instructional workshop (subject to approval) for delegates in conjunction with the conference. Highlight your organization's expertise! Delegate feedback indicates that these scientific/technical vehicles enhance retention of your organization's presence in their minds -- increasing the potential for drawing customers long after the conference is over. See the Call for Papers for some proposed topic areas.
