[arin-announce] ARIN XVIII Event Sponsorship Opportunities

Is your organization interested in showing its support of ARIN and the 
Internet community? Special sponsorship opportunities are available for 
the ARIN XVIII Public Policy and Members Meeting, to be held 11-13 
October 2006, at the Adam's Mark Hotel in St. Louis, Missouri. It will 
occur back-to-back with NANOG 38.

ARIN's Public Policy Meetings are an integral part of the Internet 
number resource policy development process. They bring together 
influential industry professionals, government representatives, and 
leaders in the Internet community in an open and productive forum. You 
may wish to view the webcasts from past meetings. They are available at: 
http://www.arin.net/meetings/minutes/

We would like to invite interested organizations to consider sponsoring 
an event or function at this important and yes, exciting gathering of 
the Internet community.

Available sponsorship opportunities include:

   * Webcast of the ARIN XVIII Public Policy and Members Meetings
   * An exciting and popular social event
   * Breakfasts, Lunches, or Refreshment Breaks

You may be wondering, "What are the benefits to me or my organization 
for sponsoring a meeting?" There are several:

   * ARIN offers public acknowledgements of meeting event sponsors 
during daily public announcements, on the meeting website, and on 
meeting materials and communications.
   * Sponsors are also recognized after the meeting on the past sponsors 
web page and meeting minute archives.
   * Sponsors of meeting-related events receive the positive exposure of 
being associated with a well-regarded, professional, and organized event 
that includes policy and technical discussions, interaction with 
colleagues, and information about the global Internet community.
   * Sponsorship provides organizations a venue to emphasize a 
commitment not just to ARIN, but the entire community as well.

A commitment could be for as little as $2,000, or could include entire 
social or multiple events. Concerned that your organization can't commit 
to sponsoring an event by itself? Contact us and we'll work with you to 
help find other organizations willing to co-sponsor an event.
