Conference information

Individual Conference Sponsorship Options

For companies wishing to target specific day, materials, or social events during the conference, individual sponsorship provides an attractive option. This allows your organization to choose your desired level of involvement and exposure to attendees at the FIRST conference.

One key reason why attendees come to the FIRST conference is to establish contact with members of other CSIRTs around the world so social events such as the ice-breaker, conference dinner, lunches and breaks are very well attended.

Terminal Room - Equipment and Services Only

Given the nature of the work that the conference attendees are involved in it is crucial for them to be able to have Internet access during the conference to allow them to connect to their home base and access email, etc. This type of sponsorship targets the users of the well-visited terminal room and guarantees high visibility during whole of the conference.

The sponsor commits to provide an Internet connected local area network with a minimum of 30 connections (15 workstations and 15 10Base-T hub) and a laser printer at the conference facility (for sole use of the conference attendees). In addition appropriate security software is required such as provision of antiviral software (recent version and actual signature files) and SSH client software (recent version). The sponsor will set-up and break down the equipment and cover usage costs, provide connectivity, wiring and appropriate insurance for usage of the equipment at the conference.
