Sponsorship Information:

TheBDevent is an exclusive networking event for industry executives. It is different than any other event you've ever been to. Really.

A Great Way To Get Your Company Message Out

There are a limited number of sponsorship openings available for this exclusive, invitation only event. TheBDEvent is different than the trade shows or seminars you have attended in the past. Not just the format, but also the audience itself. Executives from the top storage companies, press, analysts, venture capitalists and investment bankers will gather for 3 days for the sole purpose of developing partnerships, sharing ideas and expanding their market. This is a unique opportunity to reach the top decision makers in one room from a wide array of storage companies. Companies that are attending this upcoming event include EMC, HP, Hitachi Data Systems, NetApp, Citrix, F5 Networks, Xiotech, Wikibon, GlassHouse Technologies and 3PAR, along with dozens of others.

This is a networking event FOR industry insiders, put on BY industry insiders

Special Sponsor Presentation

The sponsorship package includes a Special Sponsor Presentation speaking slot along with a sponsorship of the cocktail/appetizer networking reception. For the less known vendor that is targeting decision makers in new markets - it's a double dose of exposure - both speaking about the company and then providing marketing materials and/or messaging during the evening reception. The Special Sponsor Presentation is your opportunity to be on stage for 10 – 15 minutes (depending on the sponsorship level) to talk about your product features, services, benefits, future direction and competitive advantages. Keep in mind this will be a concentrated group of industry professionals that include CEOs, BD and marketing folks, M&A, press, analysts, consultants, etc.

It is also possible to have a educational presentation as part of your sponsorship. Please let us know if you would be interested in learning more.
