Sponsorship Opportunities

The International Symposium on Graph Drawing GD2004, a premier international conference on information visualization technology, is a traditional forum where researchers and practitioners working on both theoretical and practical aspects of the area annually meet from all over the world. The research contributions presented at the conference are traditionally published in a volume of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series of Springer-Verlag.

In 2004, the 12th edition of the Symposium will be held at City College, CUNY, in New York City, USA. City College is a prestigious institution founded more than 150 years ago, which used to be called the "proletarian Harvard." Amongst its alumni are Bernard Malamud, Ira Gershwin, and several Nobel Prize winners. The College is located in the cultural heart of Harlem, one of New York City's many tourist attractions.

We are actively encouraging sponsorships for the 12th International Symposium on Graph Drawing. Sponsorship is available at different levels as listed below. In each case, the sponsoring company is responsible for providing the artwork (company logo) to be included on the publications and promotional material.

Contributor
Suggested contribution is upwards of $400 (or about €320). Benefits consist of identification as a contributor on:

  1. Call for papers.
  2. Final program.
  3. Proceedings.

Silver Sponsor
Suggested value of sponsorship is upwards of $1,000 (or about € 800). Benefits will include all contributors' benefits, plus:

  1. The logo of the silver sponsor will be displayed on the GD2003 home page.
  2. The logo of the silver sponsor will be displayed on the conference poster (provided that the sponsorship is given before the poster is printed).
  3. Badges of all representatives from the sponsoring company will identify them as a sponsor.
  4. Early registration fees for late registrants from the silver sponsoring company.
