Sponsorships still available for HI-TEC!

Sponsorships still available for HI-TEC 2009!

Technician education is critical for the viability of our high tech industries. We invite you to support our national effort through sponsorship of this year’s High Impact Technology Exchange Conference (HITEC), http://www.highimpact-tec.org/. We are pleased to currently have the financial sponsorship of the National Science Foundation and the Intel Corporation for this unique event.

We have three levels of sponsorship and work closely with all of our sponsors to provide value in terms of visibility and acknowledgment. The levels are:

1. Title Sponsor: This is reserved for amounts of $25,000 or more. We have the capacity for three title sponsors and so far the National Science Foundation has committed at this level. This level achieves the maximum visibility in terms of the conference program, website, and press.
   
2. Sustaining Sponsor: This level is $10,000 and depending on the wishes of the sponsor we can select keynotes, award luncheons, or other major functions to be branded with this sponsorship level. This level also provides a complimentary exhibit booth space in the Technology Showcase should that be desired (booth services, electricity, furniture, and handling fees are not included).


3. Contributing Sponsor: This level is $5,000 and we use break functions, receptions, conference bags, and the like to highlight this level of sponsorship.

HI-TEC is an expansion and outgrowth of the SAME-TEC conference which was held annually over the last 12 years. HI-TEC represents a topical expansion into a large number of workforce preparation areas in disciplines that range from biotech and IT to manufacturing and nanotechnology. The key focus is community college level programs in these areas. We anticipate attendance numbers in the 600-800 range. We currently (May 2009) have 480 paid registrations.
