According to symposium organizer Seth Grimes, "Twitter's Certified Partner Program is an important step toward assuring availability, accuracy, and value for business consumers of social data and analytics. It's no coincidence that five of Twitter's partners are Sentiment Analysis Symposium current and past sponsors -- Attensity, DataSift, Gnip, Topsy, and Crimson Hexagon -- along with the folks at Radian6, who have joined us for several of the four symposiums to date. Symposium participants are among the most important social-data ecosystem players."

• Gnip in the data reseller category
• Topsy in the analytics and data reseller categories

Grimes explained that the Sentiment Analysis Symposium bridges technology and business in one of the most exciting applications to emerge in recent years: software that discovers business value in opinions and attitudes in social media, news, and enterprise feedback. "Social data is important and the Sentiment Analysis Symposium is the conference for everyone who needs to discover meaning and opportunity in social media.
