Sponsorship Opportunities

You are invited to support the IWIPS 2004 conference. Sponsorship is an ideal way to demonstrate your organization's interest and commitment to the important areas of globalisation, localisation, and internationalisation.

In addition, sponsorship provides your organization with international recognition and exposure on the conference website, in conference proceedings, as well as at the conference. Since its inception in 1999, IWIPS has attracted delegates from over 29 countries and 6 continents. IWIPS delegates represent private, government, and academic organizations from around the world.
