Become a sponsor for MWSUG 2009
These conferences wouldn't be possible without the support of our sponsors. Becoming an MWSUG sponsor is a great way to get your company's message out to SASŪ users across the Midwest. Sponsorship helps offset some of the costs of the conference and allows us to offer SASŪ users a quality conference at an affordable rate.
