KDD-2002 Call For Exhibits

The Eighth International Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (KDD-2002) is the premiere event for the data mining community, bringing together KDD professionals from all over the world. KDD has enjoyed steadily growing rates of attendance, both from academia and industry. On average, 40 percent of the attendees have academic affiliations while 60 percent are affiliated with industry. The introduction of the industrial track at KDD-99 proved enormously popular and boosted 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-2001 Exhibits were a great success. The strong participation of more than 30 Exhibitors attracted a lot of interest from the attendees.

As usual, in the exhibit 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. This year, the exhibit space is placed right next to the main conference auditoriums, and is collocated with the space the conference breaks will take place, assuring maximum exposure. The cost of exhibit space is (price in US dollars):

• 10 x 10 foot booth space, including a 6 foot table :
  $1,500

We welcome designated and undesignated donations to the conference.
