Have you considered being a sponsor or an exhibitor at the upcoming American Society of Mechanical Engineer's 2006 International Design Engineering Technical Conferences? We are excited that the IDETC will be held in Philadelphia this year, from September 10th to the 13th, only minutes from many major Universities including Drexel, La Salle, St. Joseph's, Temple, and UPenn. We are expecting a vibrant audience of over 750 participants including academics, practicing engineers and students. This is an especially good year to join us as we are placing a renewed emphasis on the value of exhibitors and sponsors. Our audience, which includes world experts in design automation, manufacturing, design theory, computers in engineering, mechanisms, robotics and design education, have strongly encouraged this new emphasis.

To learn more about being an exhibitor or a sponsor, please see the information below. To see more on the ASME IDETC&CIE, please visit the links on this page.

We hope you will consider sponsorship or an exhibit at this year's conference. Do not hesitate to contact me should you have questions or comments about participation.

Sincerely,
Andrew Murray & James Schmiedeler
Exhibits Co-Chairs, 2006 ASME IDETC&CIE Conference
