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.

Items/Events for Sponsorship

Your company may elect to sponsor all or part of the following items. Due to the cost of these items, we do expect to have multiple sponsors for each. Please note that in general, a flat contribution or participation is generally more beneficial and easier, since there are many other ways for MWSUG to put sponsorship dollars to good use other than for these items listed. All forms of sponsorship are appreciated, and will be recognized at the appropriate level.

* These items may be donated in kind or sponsored. In kind donations require paid invoice.

Your company may elect to donate the following items. These items will have one sponsor.

Each year we also have several door prizes for the closing session. Door prizes are always donated items from sponsors. We are open to suggestions for these items. Please discuss item donations with the Sponsorship Coordinator or the conference co-chairs at least 30 days before the conference.
