Would You Like To Sponsor t2’09?

We are looking for sponsors, if you or your company would like to sponsor t2’09 please contact us.

To protect the independent nature of T2, the following guidelines have been established:

  • No sponsor can affect the agenda. In order to run an independent conference, it is essential that no sponsor influence the topic or content of any given presentation.
  • Each and every presenter is there because of his or her skills. Sponsorship is not a fast lane past the CFP, meaning that sponsorship will not guarantee you a presentation slot at the conference. It does not prevent it either; the bottom line is that the advisory board handles all submissions equally.

More information can be found at http://www.t2.fi/sponsors/
