<p>W3C hosts this five day event <strong><a
|
|
href="http://www.w3.org/2002/09/TPOverview.html">once a year</a></strong> to
|
|
allow Working Groups (WG) and Interest Groups (IG) to hold their face to face
|
|
meetings in one place and have the opportunity to <strong>meet and
|
|
liaise</strong> with participants from other groups.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2 style="clear:left"><a name="sponsor" id="sponsor">Sponsorship:</a></h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>You are cordially invited to sponsor the 2005 Technical Plenary Week.
|
|
Following in the footsteps of the successful sponsorship programs developed
|
|
for the 2004 Tech Plenary Week and the recent 10th anniversary celebration of
|
|
the Consortium (W3C10), we expect you will want to consider participating in
|
|
the program for this meeting.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>A record number of Working Groups registered to participate in Boston in
|
|
2005, and hence the TP week 2005's edition provides a unique marketing
|
|
opportunity to reach those who are engineering solutions and making decisions
|
|
that are leading the Web to its full potential. The details of three
|
|
sponsorship packages are given in the <a
|
|
href="http://www.w3.org/2005/02/sponsoring.html.en">TP05 Sponsorship
|
|
Agreement</a>.</p>

|
airport, go to the Courtesy Phone Bank and choose the 'Hyatt' button. Your

|
the shuttle to your terminal. Please go to the shuttle waiting area as soon
|

<p>Terminals A,B, C and E (International): Baggage Claim area is on the lower
|
|
level. Go to the green column sign outside the terminal marked "Courtesy" to
