. | Vendor Participation Vendors are welcome and encouraged to participate at the SIGUCCS Fall 99 Conference in Denver, November 7 - 10. Contact with companies marketing appropriate products (training, help desk database and tracking systems, diagnostic and recovery tools, end user hardware and software, Web tools, documentation, etc.) are very valuable to the attendee and vendor alike. The SIGUCCS Fall conference draws 350-400 college, university and government research user services professionals. It is the only major conference for this group of IT professionals. The conference offers a unique opportunity for vendors to publicize and demonstrate products and services that make providing user services more efficient and productive. Vendors who provide support to SIGUCCS will receive an acknowledgement and thank you in our printed program and from the conference chair in a plenary session. They will also have the opportunity to have a link from our conference Web site to their Web site and the opportunity to supply a flyer or giveaway for inclusion in the conference backpacks. Additional opportunities will depend on the sponsorship. Sponsorship Opportunities 1. Gala Event at the Denver Museum of Natural
