2013 Annual Symposium

The Project Management Institute (PMI) Silicon Valley Chapter is pleased to announce the availability of Sponsorship packages for the October 2013 PMI-SV Fall Symposium at the Santa Clara Convention Center, located in the heart of the Silicon Valley.

The Symposium provides a platform for you to showcase your company, your products, and the services you offer. Based on the positive response from last year’s PMI-SV Fall Symposium, we are offering à la carte Sponsorship opportunities as well as traditional Sponsorship packages. Our primary goal is to provide our Sponsors with equity, value, and flexibility.

Align your organization with the fastest growing project management in Northern California! PMI Silicon Valley’s October 2013 Fall Symposium is an educational with networking opportunities for project management professionals and key decision-making members. Seize this opportunity to show project management professionals how you can help them to deliver project success – more critical in this economic climate than ever before. Select from pre-bundled packages or our à la carte list of value-added opportunities for maximum exposure. Our flexible Sponsorship menu will enable you to target your money and time to those opportunities that best fit your needs and outreach strategies.

The Fall Symposium is being held from 8:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. on Monday, October 7th, and Tuesday, October 8th. The main conference proceedings will occur at the Santa Clara Convention Center. Approximately 150 to 250 PMI Members from PMI Silicon Valley and other chapters locally and across the nation will be attending. These are key influencers and primary decision makers in their organizations.
