5th Annual International Workshop on Internationalisation of Products and Systems
(IWIPS 2003)



What is IWIPS?

IWIPS is a highly interdisciplinary forum of professionals from industry, academia and government working in the field of internationalisation of products and systems. It is unique in that it appeals to a variety of delegates working in different areas of internationalisation supporting the transfer of information and technology.
IWIPS is organised by Product & Systems Internationalisation, Inc., a not-for-profit group incorporated in the State of Delaware (U.S.).


Why should we support IWIPS?

International auditorium:
Since it conception in 1999, IWIPS has attracted delegates from over 29 countries and 6 continents. IWIPS delegates represent firms from around the world on the leading edge of development and marketing of commercial items for sale and use in 'foreign' cultures. Sponsorship provides a means to showcase sponsor's technical capabilities, service offerings, and products to this exclusive group.
Interdisciplinary and practical:
An understanding of the wide variety of internationalisation issues addressed at IWIPS is directly relevant to success in designing, manufacturing and marketing commercial items globally. Sponsorship supports the development of such issues and related processes. This benefits not only delegates, but also others around the world who gain access to the outcomes of IWIPS sessions (e.g., via the proceedings and the web site, www.iwips.org).
Networking and cooperation:
Networking among delegates at IWIPS in this specialised area provides a unique opportunity for a mutual development of concepts that otherwise might never occur. Sponsorship makes available this highly interactive forum, further developing the skills of trained specialists who may staff sponsoring firms.

What benefits can IWIPS provide to sponsors?

Other than points already discussed, all sponsors will have the following opportunities:

  • Public acknowledgements from show organizers at conference opening and closing session
  • Logo displayed on main conference screen during session breaks
  • Logo displayed on conference site
  • Logo displayed in proceedings
