The Annual OpenOffice.org Conference (OooCon) is the main event of the OpenOffice.org Community. Becoming a Sponsor of OooCon 2008 gives you a unique opportunity to present your business, product and services to a significant part of the OOo Community. You will be able to meet friends, partners and customers as well making new contacts in the stimulating and friendly atmosphere of this first class international conference.
We offer three different sponsorship packages – please choose the one best suited for your business needs:
A minimum donation of US$ 10,000 is requested to qualify for Platinum Sponsorship Level.
A minimum donation of US$ 5,000 is requested to qualify for Gold Sponsorship Level.
A minimum donation of US$ 2,500 is requested to qualify for Silver Sponsorship Level.
If you and a business partner want to exhibit or advertise jointly at OOoCon we will try to find a custom solution for you. If, for example, both of you decided to become a Gold Sponsor individually, then you would be allowed to share the benefits of a Platinum Sponsorship Package, such as joint use of the 'Sponsors Lounge', large size booth and double page advertisement.
To secure your sponsorship, donations must be received in full by 19th September latest.
We are happy to consider other proposals you may have. For example:
