Call for Sponsors
The eBusiness and eWork 2001
Annual Conference is a high profile event in a technology area
that is attracting enormous interest from business and the general
public. The European Commission, through its Information Society
Technologies Programme supports the e2001 event. The aim is to
help promote the activities and achievements of the IST programme's
Kay Action II, New Methods of Work and Electronic Commerce.
A number of companies are appreciating
the value of sponsoring for gaining exposure and fostering good
will to a precise target audience; last year's event in Madrid
attracted 550 participants. Sponsorship can cover a range of
attractive items and activities, such as:
- the delegates' wallets, pens
or promotional gifts
- transfer of delegates from
the airport to hotels and return
- evening cocktails and other
social activities
- gala dinner
- support services like a Cyber
Café
Publicity for Sponsors
Before the event prominent
notice will be given to sponsors
- in the final edition of the
programme (circulated to over 10,000 addresses)
- on this web site (www.cheshirehenbury.com/ebew)
in press releases
At the conference, prominent
acknowledgement of sponsors will be given
- on display panels
- in the delegate notes, final
programme and daily newsletters
- in visuals and announcements
given from the session platforms.
The preferred method of working
is for sponsors to be put in touch with suppliers so that they
may directly supervise the arrangements. Applications will be
considered on a first come first served basis. To apply for sponsorship

Ideas and Opportunities for
Sponsorship
Pens, Wallets etc

would also appreciate other promotional gifts from a company
such as paper knives, tee shirts, book marks, paper weights and
so on. Sponsorship for the pens could be from as little as1,000
euros.
Transportation
It is hoped to meet and greet
delegates at Venice's Marco Polo international airport and to
transport them to Venice and on to the hotels. It may be possible
to set up a welcome desk at the airport or a banner so that the
sponsor's name is shown as welcoming e-2001 delegates. For delegates
this would be a memorable and much appreciated arrival. Costs
vary from 1,500 euros, for buses to town, up to 7,000 euros for
water taxis from the airport.

at 17.20 on Wednesday and Thursday, a cocktail will take place
for all delegates on the conference site. Sponsorship of an Evening

with Venice than the gondola and every visitor will forever remember
a trip in one of this elegant craft. Prices cover all delegates
