SIGIR 2008 Corporate Sponsorship Opportunities

SIGIR is the premier conference in the field of information search and retrieval. It attracts the best talent in industry and academia every year. This year, 2008, is the first time SIGIR is hosted in Asia and provides a unique opportunity for sponsors to highlight their support and involvement in the increasingly important area of online and document searching in the fastest growing economic region in the world.

Corporate sponsorship allows the conference registration fees to be kept as low as possible, both to promote attendance and to offset the cost of events and services. Supporting SIGIR activities is an excellent way to reach a targeted audience and demonstrate your association with the best and brightest researchers in the field. Your generosity will also help us expand SIGIR's program and events.
