Invitation to Exhibit

Interaction Australasia invites interested parties to participate as exhibitors at Trade Show 2010 which is part of the IBM users conference - Interaction 2010.

Trade Show 2010

The Trade Show will provide an excellent opportunity to exhibit directly to approximately 70-80 managers and technical professionals who work in the IBM systems environments. Participation as an exhibitor is open to organisations involved in the development, manufacture or distribution of products and services that complement or enhance the effective use of IBM systems technology.

Exhibitors are required to be members of Interaction Australasia. If necessary, membership may be arranged in conjunction with registering as an exhibitor at Trade Show 2010.

Membership also entitles exhibitors to participate in Interaction's regional meetings & other events throughout the year.

Exhibiting at Trade Show 2010 will be of particular interest to:

• Software Developers and Suppliers
• Telecommunications Suppliers
• Education and Training Specialists
• IBM Business Partners
• Service and Support Providers

Interaction 2010 will provide top class education and networking opportunities to managers and technical professionals working with IBM systems.
