·	All sponsors will get their name and/or logo in our advertising (such as the calls for papers of the conference). Their name and logo will be published in the conference proceedings.
·	Different types of sponsorships can be offered, including: Student Sponsorships: This would be mainly for students presenting papers, to pay for travel, hotel and/or conference fees etc. We would have to work with companies and provide names of students to them; possibly the selection of students would be made by individual companies, as they may want to select papers on particular topics of interest to them. Trade Space Rental: This will allow companies to demonstrate software or products. Possibly different prices would be offered to non-profit vs. for-profit groups; higher, for-profit rates would likely include a complimentary registration allowance. Monetary Sponsorship: The conference can include product announcements or samples in the registration package for each conference participant. All sponsor employees will receive member rates for conference registration. (Non-member rates are at least 25\% higher than member rates.) For various tiers of sponsorship we may include trade space rental and/or complementary registrations.
·	Also, the conference may offer the opportunity for a special period in which sponsors can demonstrate their products or their current research/development projects. This can be organized as part of the conference software exhibitions.
