Seventeenth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence   August 4th - 10th, 2001 Seattle, Washington, USA Washington State  Washington State  Convention & Trade Center

On behalf of the IJCAI-01 conference committee, I would like to invite you to consider serving as a contributor to IJCAI-01 and to participate in IJCAI-01 with a demonstration of your organization’s capabilities in artificial intelligence technology. Leading companies in the field, large ones like Boeing and Microsoft, and smaller ones like Interprice Technologies, have already committed to contribute to the conference. Your contribution will help defray conference costs and provide special opportunities for students who otherwise would be unable to attend. In a real way, you will be investing in the future of artificial intelligence technology by supporting IJCAI-01 student travel, accommodations, and other conference activities

In addition to participating as a sponsor, we hope you will consider demonstrating your artificial intelligence technologies at IJCAI-01. The commercial exhibits and demonstration events at past IJCAI conferences have been well attended. They provide an excellent opportunity for exposure of your organization’s capabilities as well as interchange with other organizations and research groups.

Like past IJCAI conferences, IJCAI-01 will be an excellent opportunity to meet the next generation of technology experts who will soon be joining the work force.

Sponsorship levels are explained on the accompanying page. More information about sponsorships and the conference is available at the IJCAI web site:
