WOULD YOU LIKE TO SHOWCASE YOUR COMPANY'S INNOVATIONS TO THE MOST INNOVATIVE PEOPLE IN THE TECHNOLOGY WORLD?

Once every year the most innovative and impactful people and organizations in the science and technology world gather for the World Technology Summit to explore what is imminent, possible, and important in and around the wide variety of emerging technologies and industries. The Summit is convened by the World Technology Network (WTN) in association with global partners such as Nasdaq, Microsoft, TIME magazine, Science magazine, and the United Nations. This year's Summit will occur in San Francisco on October 7th and 8th at the historic Fairmont Hotel, and will be capped by the 2004 World Technology Awards gala ceremony at San Francisco City Hall.

Due to requests from many cutting-edge companies, we are now delighted to offer the opportunity for a very limited number of companies to showcase themselves to our delegates by offering exhibition space with a difference.

Most of the Summit delegates are either current WTN members (primarily corporate or individual winners or finalists for previous World Technology Awards cycles) or 2004 Award nominees, plus an additional group of extraordinary individuals who have either been suggested by members/nominees or whose applications to attend have been accepted by us. The vetting process to determine who is participating in this conference could not be more intense. And, we want to "turn on" these delegates by presenting them with a small number of particularly exciting and thought-provoking examples of cutting-edge technological innovation relating to IT, Communications, Materials, Energy, Health/Biotech, or even Space.

Rather than viewing this opportunity as a traditional tradeshow to which you would send a typical salesperson, think of this as a CTO's "fantasy." Send your CTO (or whomever is the person driving the key technological innovations at your company) to explain your work and your products to the other people in the technology world who are themselves driving the key innovations in their fields. Create the relationships for your company that will provide key insights into better ways to make and sell the innovations about which you are so justifiably proud. Put your company in a position to make the one (unexpected) new relationship that can open up hundreds of new opportunities. In other words, come to the World Technology Summit to strut your stuff in front of the science and technology world's key opinion leaders and see what happens...

We will only be selecting a very limited number of companies for this CTO Showcase and we really want to create "buzz" for you and for our delegates. If you think your company has what it takes to excite the very-powerful-and-not-easily-impressed, we urge you to contact us to discuss taking things to the next step.

Tailor made Packages

We are aware that sponsorship of any of the above items may not suit your current marketing aims. We are therefore willing to tailor a package to suit your objectives and budget. Multi-year packages as well as variations of the above “menu” are available. Please feel free to contact us to discuss your ideas.

Leadership Awards* - $125,000

On an occasional basis, when appropriate, the World Technology Network will honor individuals who have exhibited particularly great leadership within their own industry or for the larger society as a whole. *NOTE: An Award of this type can be suggested (both honoree and specialized Award category) by prospective sponsors, or a prospective sponsor can ask the WTN for a list of possible and appropriate honorees/categories. An extremely limited number of Leadership Awards will possibly be given during any calendar year. Sponsors names will appear in the Award name, for example: “The 2004 World Technology Network Leadership Award for XXXXX in association with SPONSOR COMPANY NAME.”

Lifetime Achievement Awards* - $125,000

On an occasional basis, when appropriate, the World Technology Network will honor individuals who have shown a consistent level of extraordinary innovation over the course of their career. In February 2004, WTN Fellow Geoffrey Ballard, father of the modern hydrogen fuel cell industry, was honoured with the WTN’s first-even Lifetime Achievement Award. *NOTE: An Award of this type can be suggested by prospective sponsors, or a prospective sponsor can ask the WTN for a list of possible and appropriate honorees. Lifetime Achievement Awards will be given, by definition, on an extremely occasional basis. Sponsors names will appear in the Award name, for example: “The 2004 World Technology Network Lifetime Achievement Award in association with SPONSOR COMPANY NAME.”
