Sponsorship Opportunities
Internet2 and MCNC, the non-profit operator of the North Carolina Research and Education Network (NCREN) have collaborated to incorporate MCNC's traditional NCREN Community Day event into the Fall 2011 Internet2 Member Meeting. The result of the collaboration will be a compelling and informative event that combines the high-profile content of Internet2 Member Meeting with a detailed look at one of the nation's oldest and most successful State Research and Education collaborative. Sponsorship of this joint event will provide leadership status with a key market.
Internet2 Member Meetings host 600+ C-level information technology decision-makers and influencers from the nation's top universities, government and scientific research organizations. And MCNC's annual Community Day draws an additional 300+ C-level information technology decision-makers and influencers from North Carolina's Research and Education communities. You won't find a better opportunity to drive awareness, visibility and demand for your organization's offerings with this highly influential target group.
No other promotional vehicle can single you out so effectively before an audience of this size and caliber as sponsoring an event or program. Along with related official acknowledgements, special signage and promotional items, it puts your company's name foremost in the minds of your target market, bringing with it industry leadership positioning, unmatched brand awareness, equity and promotional value—and the good will of your target audience, key business partners and prospects.
Also, as a sponsor, you automatically earn a benefit package worth thousands of dollars—and special privileges not available by any other means.
The following sponsorship packages have been especially crafted to offer integrated, high-touch experiential branding efforts with Internet2 and MCNC members. Opportunities are available to fit any budget, and if your company has different resources, goals, or ideas for the expression of your brand, a customized sponsorship package can be developed to meet your needs. Sponsorships are available on a first-come, first-served basis, so act now to gain unmatched visibility with this unprecedented gathering of decision-makers from information technology and the research and education advanced networking community.
