WISTP2009 SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

Dear colleague,
We are writing to invite you to participate in sponsoring WISTP'2009, the 3rd Workshop in Information Security Theory and Practices, which will take place in Brussels, Belgium from September 2-4, 2009 (pending). This annual workshop provides a premier forum in which to present research results in all areas related to the security of Smart Devices, Pervasive Systems, and Ubiquitous Networks, bringing together leading researchers and practitioners, and encouraging interchange and cooperation between the research community and the industrial/consumer community.
Building on the success of previous editions held in Heraklion (May 2007) and Sevilla (May 2008),WISTP2009 will include a highly selective single-track program for technical papers, accompanied by posters, videos, demonstrations, and six invited speakers.
The strong program offered in 2007 and in 2008 by the workshops had attracted a mean of 55 delegates from industry and institutions worldwide — a number that we expect to grow!
Industry involvement plays an important role in the success of WISTP (see 2007 and 2008). With that in mind, we would like to invite you to become a major sponsor of WISTP2009. We aim to provide good value for the support you offer and have outlined a list of sponsorship opportunities that may suit your requirements. Your contribution will help ensure that we can maintain the highest quality throughout all aspects of what promises to be a truly great conference.
We would appreciate if you can give this matter your full consideration. Sponsorship opportunities will be accepted on a first come, first served basis, so please act now to add your company’s presence to WISTP2009. We look forward to hearing from you soon.
Kind regards,
The WISTP2009 organization team.

Actual sponsors: Eurosmart, INSTICC, Juniper Networks, Master FP7 project, SCM Microsystems, Vodafone, to be completed

 PS : Last years the workshop was supported by several major companies (Vodafone, Nokia, Microsoft, Atos Origin, Crisp Telecom, SCM Microsystems, Xiring, etc.) and by several scientific organizations (ACM, IEEE, IFIP, ERCIM, INSTICC, etc.) .

To discuss the sponsorship opportunities outlined above or any other way in which you would like your company to be involved with WISTP2009, please contact damien.sauveron@unilim.fr

Important note: The main objective of the sponsorship for us is to reduce the registration fees of the attendees and thus to increase the number of attendees. The potential surplus of the workshop will be reinvested in the next editions.
