sponsorship would entitle your company to distribute materials at a
sponsor conference table, receive the list of participants with their
contact details, and the option to be listed in a conference "resources"
booklet that will be distributed to attendees.  This is a unique
opportunity to achieve broad international exposure directly to decision
makers that will be in attendance. Please contact Dee Schur

We are pleased to extend the opportunity to promote your support for
ebXML at ebXML Day in Barcelona,

coordinating a reception at the close of the day for all the attendees.
For this event, we will need at least 3 sponsors to contribute 1,500 USD
each to cover the expenses of the reception. We will acknowledge the
sponsors in the program on the IDEAlliance and OASIS websites, in the
proceedings and we will create onsite signage with sponsor logos. We
will also provide a sponsor table at the reception for distribution of
promotional materials. Please contact Dee Schur
