SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

Starting with the Marina Del Rey 2001 meeting, there will be a new format for sponsorship opportunities for this ICANN meeting. This is in response to feedback that we have received from the constituencies and the community. It is our hope that this will offer proper visibility for those who chose to support our meeting, while preserving its neutrality for all participants.

All sponsors will have their logos appear on the ICANN website and during breaks on the meeting screens. A table will be provided for distribution of literature for sponsors only. Additional recognition of sponsorship is listed below in the description of each level. An organization that is not a sponsor will not be permitted to distribute commercial materials in the meeting area. (This meeting is not a trade show).

Three levels of sponsorship are available:

Top-Level: US$15,000 – Booth/table in meeting area for entire meeting *

Second-Level: US$10,000 – Booth/table in meeting area for one day *

Third-Level: US$5,000 – Signage on coffee break tables

* For this meeting, top-level sponsors will also be designated as sponsors of a special event to be announced later; and second-level sponsors will also be designated as a co-sponsors of an ICANN meeting reception.

If you are interested in becoming a sponsor or would like more information, please contact John Jeffrey.
