IDEA2009: Meet Up at the intersection of Social and Experience Design, brought to you by the IA Institute

Sponsoring IDEA2009: Personal, Lasting Exposure
to the People Shaping Social and Experience Design

Only IDEA brings together leading design thinkers from across the globe, and challenges them: to share beyond the concepts that inspire them most, and deliver practical guidance for attendees to begin making an immediate difference in the networked world of today and tomorrow.

Staring with a full-day workshop led by EightShapes, and continuing over two days of illuminating presentations, IDEA2009 will immerse attendees in both big ideas and accessible insights.

Sponsoring IDEA2009 gives your brand direct access to these influencers: before, during, and after the conference itself.

Partnership Sponsors Packages

IDEA2009 Partnership Sponsors can choose from several packages that are designed with maximum ROI: as socially networked and personal as the conference itself. From Twitter to video podcasts: you’ll find innovative, sustainable, cost-effective packages suited for every level of investment.

Become an IDEA2009 Partnership Sponsor today and demonstrate your leadership and secure your place in front of the industry’s most influential creative professionals.

Events Sponsors

IDEA2009 offers sponsors the opportunity to host a limited number of networking events including two IA Cocktail Hours, and session breaks. For local stores and restaurants, there are also a number of strategic opportunities to create awareness for attendees looking for lunch, dinner, and authentic gifts to bring back home.

By sponsoring IDEA2009, your company will be presented with abundant opportunities to demonstrate thought leadership and provide strategic interaction with key design community members and attendees.
