Sponsorship & Registration Eligibility and Confirmation Procedure

Through consistent feedback from both our Industry Delegates and Information Provider Delegates, it is clear that everyone strongly emphasizes the all important need for a balance between numbers of information users and information providers attending the conference.  Therefore, the conference registration policies are in place to accommodate this principle and ensure a highly professional and focused conference, training and exposition programme, and strategic discourse, as well as a balanced and enriching networking experience.

Attendance and sponsorship is by invitation.  Interested individuals or organizations that have not received an invitation and are interested in participating, should contact the IPI Organisers.

Industry Delegate means an individual who is a direct employee of an industrial organisation that produces and sells products (other than any information related products) such as a chemical, pharmaceutical, electronics or engineering company.

Information Vendor/Producer Delegate means an individual or a representative of an organisation that produces information products or provides services/consultancy that could be used or bought by Industry Delegates.

Information Vendor/Producer organizations will be invited to participate at the conference through the conference sponsorship programme.  A minimum sponsorship is required to participate.  The minimum sponsorship is for an organization with a single brand/product line.  Companies with multiple brand/product lines, or products combined through merger of previous  industry players will need to sponsor at an additional level irrespective of whether the organisation intends to showcase single or multiple product lines. In summary, sponsorship/exhibiting is strictly based on per organization (entity) basis, as well as per product/brand line per individual organization.

A joint venture or joint product between two or more organisations can be represented through a single sponsorship as long as only one of the organisations’ names is displayed, and representatives from only that one organisation staff the exhibit stand.  For the other partner company(ies) to be listed( though signage or any other means), their representatives/employees to be present at the stand, their products (other than the joint product) to be discussed, or to participate in the conference in any manner, the correct sponsorship level needs to be held by each of the partner organisations.  The single brand/product rule applies in such cases, same as above.

Others: a limited number of lower level sponsorships are available and reserved for some smaller, diverse and start-up Information Vendor/Producer organizations.  This is to facilitate, e.g. innovative tools start-ups the opportunity to have an exhibit stand and demonstrate their products in the exhibits hall.

Registration – Eligibility and Confirmation Procedures:

To maintain the vision for the conference, as well as taking into account the consistent feedback from both our Industry Delegates and Information Provider Delegates, the conference will be structured to balance between numbers of information users and information providers attending the conference.  Therefore, the conference registration policies are in place to accommodate this principle.

Priority will be given to Industry Delegates and employees of sponsoring organizations.  Consideration will be given to others based on availability and overall attendance balance, as well as value to the delegates.

Please note that each registration application for attending the conference has to be confirmed by the IPI organizers via email.  You may wish to wait for this official confirmation prior to booking your flight and hotel.
