Sponsorship

DEER08 Back By Popular Demand! - This August, the DEER Conference, which brings together professionals from the clean diesel community, moves to Dearborn – providing an opportunity to gain visibility for your organization's products and services and place you in front of the experts in the field of diesel engines.

Organized each year by the U.S. Department of Energy, the Conference showcases its cooperatively funded R&D with its partners, national laboratories, the nation's automotive transportation industry, universities and other national and international organizations.

This is the primary conference designed to facilitate the public exchange of state-of-the-art clean diesel research and development. Held at the Hyatt Regency Dearborn from August 4-7, 2008, the conference will provide multiple opportunities to:

Communicate directly with industry colleagues
Gain distinction and demonstrate your company's research accomplishments
Learn about cutting edge R&D results

Due to a federal agency regulation, DEER08 is prohibited from charging a registration fee. As a result, we expect record breaking participation again this year. However, registration will be limited to 900 full-conference registrants and 50 one-day only registrants per day for a total of 1,000 attendees per day. Once these registration limits are reached, registration will be closed.

Through the years, DEER has grown from a small workshop of 50 to a 900+ industry leading conference, providing not only state-of-the-art technical programming, but multiple opportunities for networking with industry experts. Our corporate sponsors are an integral part of these valuable networking events.

DEER08 will provide unprecedented opportunities to position your company as a leader in the industry by sponsoring DEER08 networking events. Sponsorships will be reserved on a first-come, first-served basis.
