Sponsorships
For more than a decade, eC3 has created value for government officials and private sector leaders by establishing an annual agenda that concentrates on the emerging issues facing governments across the nation. The issues are then investigated and discussed in a workgroup or at a symposium. The intellectual capital produced takes the form of a white paper that is released at the annual conference held in December of each year.
The Benefits of Sponsorship
eC3 offers a variety of sponsorship opportunities for corporate partners who share the eC3 vision and are interested in furthering cross boundary collaboration. eC3’s conference and symposia provide sponsors with a different kind of interaction with their government peers not found at other conferences. The unique, cross-cutting composition of eC3’s government attendees afford industry the opportunity to engage with a diverse mix of government thought leaders and decision makers. The organization relies upon sponsorships to help provide this unique collaborative environment. Each of our sponsors is a valued partner. As a sponsor, your benefits will include:

Symposia
Symposia events continue to be the cornerstone of the eC3 organization. This year, eC3 will conduct three targeted symposia exploring the intersection of technology as it relates to the business of government.
Symposia bring together public and private sector individuals with specific subject matter expertise. This group of 40–50 experts work together over a two-day period to craft content and best practice examples that are then turned into intellectual property in the form of an eC3 symposium paper and released at the annual conference.
The 2008 symposiums topics are:
- Talent Management scheduled for June 19th in Boston
- The Governance of REAL ID scheduled for early September in St. Paul
- Transparency in Government scheduled for the fall in Washington
Ten sponsorships are available for each of the three symposia. The cost of sponsoring a symposium is $5,000 and includes the following benefits
- Ability to send one subject matter expert to participate in symposium discussion and to contribute to crafting the symposium document.
- Recognition on the symposium portion of the eC3 website with a hyperlink to the corporate website.
- Corporate logo and recognition on final symposium document.
