Information for potential Sponsors/Exhibitors
We cordially invite you to be part of the FPL 2006 activities. This conference is the oldest and biggest meeting on programmable logic. FPL is a great opportunity to present company's technological and business capabilities to scientific, industrial and commercial FPGA community in a single worldwide event. In 2006, FPL will stop in Madrid, Spain, an impressive cultural centre and probably the lively city of Europe.
Every year, FPL opens a large room for industry exhibitors. For manufacturers related to FPGA technology, this is the ideal place to show the leading EDA tools and platforms, new chips and board with FPGA, design services and consulting, start-ups and new ideas. FPL adds visibility for products, corporate image and expertise.
Sponsors and Exhibitors of previous FPL conferences have been Nokia, Xilinx, Altera, Celoxica, Symplicity, Mentor Graphics, Cesnet, IMEC, Alpha Data Ltd, Algotronix, Coreworks, Design and Reuse, Tecmic, Quicksilver Technology, and Infineon.
Sponsoring FPL 2006 has the following advantages:
Space in the Exhibition Room: Each sponsor will have a desk with electrical power in the Exhibition Room to mount their modular system of advertising, show products, give brochures and marketing information and contact people. To ensure the maximum possible attendance by conference delegates, the industrial exhibition, the poster sessions, the wireless LAN area and the coffee breaks share the same space, close to the conference rooms.
One full registration to FPL: The exhibitor person will be provided of a full registration including the Gala Dinner. Extra company personnel must do an on-site registration.
Company logo in all FPL: The company logo will be included on the website, hand programs, information panels, banners, last-minute information sheets, etc. Being the proceeding of FPL printed under the IEEE rules, no logo can be included on it.
FPL Thanks: A "we wish to thanks to our sponsors" slide in the opening session, mentioning each sponsor individually.
Room in FPL conference bag: The sponsors have the opportunity of add a moderate quantity of marketing material in the conference bag like pen, literature, CD ROMs, databook, T-shirts, sticks, etc.
Company Best Paper Award: The sponsor is invited to donate a board, cash, or other material to set up the company best paper award. The winner will be voted by the steering committee, taking into account the matching between the paper technological framework (if exists) and the Award Sponsor. That is: A work strongly based on Actel or Xilinx FPGAs will be not eligible for the Altera Best Paper Award). Prize and diploma will be given during the Gala Dinner.
Additionally, FPL sponsors can propose speakers for plenary panels where future trends, hot-topic technologies and business aspects of FPGAs are discussed. Unfortunately, only a very short number of speakers from the industry can be included in the Technical Program, so the final acceptance of industry speakers a will be decided by the Program Co-Chairs.
