The Sixth International Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data
Mining (KDD-2000) is the premiere event for the data mining community
bringing together KDD professionals from all over world. KDD has
enjoyed steadily growing rates of attendance, both from the academia
and the industry. This year we are expecting 1000+ attendees. On
average, 40 percent of the attendees have academic affiliations while
60 percent are affiliated with the industry. The introduction of the
industrial track last year proved enormously popular and boosted the
participation from industry.
For more information about the conference, please visit the URL
listed above.

The exhibits are a crucial part of KDD, as the field is driven by
applications. Initially started as a half-day long display of research
prototypes, the KDD exhibits quickly evolved into an industry event
eagerly sought by the practitioners, researchers and the vendors in
the field. The KDD-99 Exhibits were a great success.   The strong
participation of 32 Exhibitors (27 commercial, 5 research prototypes)
attracted a lot of interest from the attendees.

This year, we are continuing the flexible fee structure for the
Exhibits which proved so popular last year.  Exhibitors in need
of larger exhibits space will be able to get it.
Accordingly, a single, 6 foot table top will cost $500, double
space for $750, triple space for $1,000, etc.

As usual, in this space, exhibitors will be allowed to distribute
product/service/company literature, display product/service
demonstrations and set up signage. Exhibitors are responsible for
bringing all hardware and software required for their demonstrations.

Please e-mail a 200 word (maximum) description of your product(s) to:

dpyle@ksp.com

along with your space requirement if you choose to participate.

We welcome designated and undesignated donations to the conference.
