Engage with the leaders and innovators shaping tomorrow.

A meeting of minds - the iSummit draws an audience of entrepreneurs, artists, educators, business minds and free-thinkers from all continents, setting the pace for the creation, adoption and leverage of new digital technologies and trends.

Opportunities exist for companies leading the digital revolution to support iSummit '08. Associated sponsorship packages are available providing unique platforms for exposure and interaction with this influential audience.

Partnership vision

We are committed to working with partners who share iCommons' vision and wish to add their voice to the global call for a developmental, transformative and creative Internet. In partnering with companies, iCommons wishes to enable companies to sponsor the iSummit and connect with participants in a way that is mutually beneficial to both partner companies and iCommons' beneficiaries.

As true event partners, sponsors are provided opportunities to leverage PR and online communications disseminated about the upcoming iSummit. In addition to the media value offered, there are numerous opportunities for exposure at the iSummit. Further detail is provided in the relevant sponsorship benefits packages.

Event supporters are afforded the opportunity to learn more about the goals and values of the global innovator communities represented at the iSummit. Partners are also encouraged to share and explore synergies with other companies across the iSummit partner network.

We recognise the value of partnerships that allow us to reach new audiences and communities in distinctive ways, further enabling us to explore emerging opportunities for the widespread distribution of knowledge, ideas and creativity.
