Dear Plone Community-

officially scheduled for October 25, 26 & 27 in Seattle, Washington USA.
We're busy working with a crew of talented & motivated Plonistas to plan

informal networking and more.

3:: We are seeking sponsors
-----------------------------------------------------
If you are:
:: A consulting firm or consultant offering Plone-related services
:: A webhosting provider supporting Plone and Zope
:: An organization using Plone that wants to invest in the future of
Plone
... we invite you to sponsor Plone Conference 2006, the annual gathering
of the global Plone community.
Sponsorships are essential to putting on a successful conference.
:: Sponsorships help provide the "up-front" money that is needed to
lock down logistics before attendee registration money begins to arrive.
:: Sponsorships help keep registration costs low, which boosts
attendance.
:: Sponsorships help us compensate presenters, helping to ensure high
quality talks and tutorials.
:: And this year, sponsorships will be essential to our plan to provide
professional quality video taping of the talks and tutorials.
If you want to see the Plone Community continue to thrive and grow,
sponsoring the Plone Conference is one of the best investments you can
make.
Information on sponsorship tiers can be found at:

We look forward to seeing you this fall in Seattle.
best,
jon
