Expo & Sponsor Profile

Expo & Sponsor Profile

In late 2013 and 2014 this group of events will include: Why Technical Conferences? Every year there are several IT conferences organized in Italy, where many attendees are involved in these training investments. In order to optimize the investments for all the Sponsors and attendees we decided to unify the most important ones under a unique brand: Technical Conferences. Mobile Conference 2013, Cloud Conference 2013, Developer Conference 2014, SQL Server & Business Intelligence Conference 2014, Server & Private Cloud Conference 2014, SharePoint & Office Conference 2014. All the Technical Conferences will have: Meeting areas to do networking and meet people Dining area for lunch and party Expo area where a partner can buy a booth to present his products and services Special discounted prices for participants and customers of sponsors An estimated total of more than 1.400 people attending any of the conferences, as well as hundreds of people visiting the Expo, and about 50 sponsors supporting any of the conferences, according to the successes of past editions. As a valued IT company, you should evaluate the opportunity to sponsor all of these conferences.
