2nd International Conference Anti-icing for Wind Turbines 2016
New anti- and de-icing strategies, technologies and ROI scenarios. Join us for a focused two-day conference and discuss: Reliable ice prevention techniques to avoid costly downtimes; Advanced de-icing and anti-icing systems to reduce damages and repairs; Evaluation of cold climate wind turbines for increased income at ice-prone sites; Cost-analysis, production gains and ROI for ice prevention systems; Impact of icing events and icing risk assessment to improve bankability. With contributions from the following companies and institutes: Eksim Investment Holding; Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing; Technology and Advanced Materials IFAM; Fraunhofer Institute for Wind Energy and Energy System technology IWES; Icesolution AS; K2 Management; SP Technical Research Institute of Sweden; Siemens Wind Power A/S; Smart Blade GmbH; Spitzner Engineers GmbH; Swiss Winds Development; VERBUND Hydro Power GmbH; VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland
IQPC has been hosting events developed for Senior executives for more than thirty years. We serve businesses representing over 15 industries at more than 1500 conferences around the globe. Our client list includes corporations like Ricoh, Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Walmart, Carlson, Mercedes Benz, ABN AMRO, IBM, Cisco, Wachovia, Pfizer, Chevron Texaco, Cingular and T-mobile just to name a select few. Senior executives travel from around the world to our events looking to garner best practices and concrete solutions to assist them in improving their organizations. IQPC provides many different platforms for sponsors to increase their market share and awareness to their target audience through leveraging different sponsorship opportunities involved with our events.
Because we know that each Sponsor has a different message, business development goal and branding initiative each Sponsorship package is tailored to your corporate strategies. Though most Sponsorships offer multiple levels and types of exposure, there are a few main ways for you to highlight your corporate strengths.
As a Sponsor your company will gain second to none exposure to those executives at the point in time that they are seeking systems, information and solutions for improving their firms strategies. The delegates in attendance will relate your firm’s solutions to the high quality of information and best practices that make up the conference. In short your systems and services will be associated with the best of breed initiatives and case studies. For a select few Sponsors there will be opportunities to support high level content and the speaker faculty of the program. These highly selective sponsorships allow your firm to establish tremendous capability & expertise in your specialty as well as highlight successful work completed with your clients.
Branding is often a major initiative for our clients who are seeking to get the message out about their offerings. As a Sponsor your firm’s logo will appear alongside of the global leaders associated with best practices in this area. IQPC leverages multiple media outlets including online, direct mail, email, press releases and media partnerships to publicize the event. We offer some key platforms for you to get across your brand image to our customer base and your prospects.
Networking and information sharing are two major aspects of the conferences and IQPC builds in many opportunities for Sponsors to enjoy & benefit from meeting the leaders in the space. As a Sponsor your company will have access to all onsite networking functions at the conference. They include two Breakfast sessions, four refreshment break sessions and two conference wide luncheons. The exhibit hall is designed to be the heart of the event a place to network meet and share strategies with key decision makers involved in and our sponsors will receive premium booth location during the show. Additionally IQPC offers a selection of Sponsorships that enable our clients to increase their opportunity to develop new relationships during our events.
