The Rolling IT Horizon: Jumping the Curve

IHETS and Tech Summit participants are grateful for the generosity of corporate partners in keeping the cost of attendance affordable for all. Participants also value the opportunity to talk with representatives of companies with which they currently or might do business. IHETS has developed a framework to offer sponsors and exhibitors multiple options for involvement with the 2007 IHETS Tech Summit as described below. Whether you choose to exhibit a specific product or represent a whole product line, your participation will increase your visibility among IT decision-makers at Indiana's colleges and universities.

To register as a sponsor or exhibitor, please download and print the Corporate Exhibitor/Sponsorship Form and follow the instructions on the form to complete and submit your payment. Please note that the completed form, along with your payment and electronic logo, is due in the IHETS office no later than March 2. This will allow us time to release unused space for others and to assure maximum exposure for your participation in program signage and materials.
