SDR Forum Announces New Incentives for SDR'09 Exhibitors

The SDR Forum understands that times are tough for many of our members and partners. To help, we have identified a number of new incentives to help those planning to exhibit at SDR'09:

• Defer payment until 2010: Organizations signing up to exhibit at SDR'09 may elect to defer payment until 2010. Organizations choosing to make this election will be invoiced in December 2009, following the event, with payment expected by 30 March 2010. Note: organizations choosing to take this option, but then later choosing not to exhibit will be fully liable for the exhibit space held for them unless an alternate exhibitor can be found.
• Take a booth at SDR'09 and get an additional 10% off the early exhibitor sign-up for SDR'10: This incentive is being offered in combination with the deferred payment option to help in budgeting for the 2010 conference. This incentive will be made available to existing exhibitors as well.
• Exhibit at SDR'09 and receive a complementary booth at the 2nd Annual European Reconfigurable Radio Technologies Workshop: This event will be held in June of 2010 in Mainz, Germany. Again, our objective here is to help organizations who wish to exhibit at both events to do so within their 2010 budget guidelines. Organizations taking advantage of this option will be required to sign an exhibitor agreement, and cancellation penalties will apply.
• Free Exhibit Hall Only Admission: We are waving the facility fees for SDR'09 exhibit hall only passes, so invite your customers to visit your booth at SDR'09 for no charge. Registration is required, and participation in other SDR'09 events requires standard registration payment.
• 20% off Non-member Full Conference Registration for Exhibitor Guests: Exhibitors will be given a registration code that they can use to invite their customers to attend SDR'09 at a discounted rate.

Our goal in providing these incentives is to help you through the current economic downturn to reach your customers through outstanding exhibition opportunities.

The annual SDR Forum Technical Conference and Product Exposition provides exhibitors with an outstanding opportunity to reach partners and customers at all levels of the wireless value chain. This conference is the largest of its type focused on the reconfigurable radio community.
