Sponsor KDD-2004
The premier international data-mining conference!
August 22-25, Seattle, WA.

Would your corporation like to get the publicity that accrues from sponsoring the main conference for data-mining? Have opportunities to reach the field's thought leaders? Conference sponsorship enables your company to reach the most knowledgeable and influential people in the field of data mining. Previous KDD conferences have given sponsors great visibility within the data mining community.

KDD-2004, the tenth annual international conference on knowledge discovery and data mining, provides a forum for academic researchers and industry and government practitioners to share their findings and experience. It will feature keynote addresses, invited speakers, research posters, workshops, tutorials and panels, as well as the KDD Cup competition. The KDD conference regularly attracts the most dynamic players in the industry. It's the best venue for finding out the latest trends in business and academic research, and for exchanging information with the field's major participants.

This year's conference will be held in Seattle, WA, on August 22-25, 2004. We anticipate exceptionally high attendance by commercial, government, and research participants because of the conference's reputation and the outstanding program.

KDD-2004 is organized by the ACM Special Interest Group on Knowledge Discovery in Data and Data Mining (SIGKDD), a nonprofit membership organization providing the premier forum for advances in knowledge discovery and data mining.

Corporate sponsors have included Amdocs, Blue Martini, Clementine, Compaq, DBMiner, DigiMine, Epsilon, IBM, Interface, Magnify, Microsoft Research, Mineit, MohoMine, Salford Systems, SAS, SGI, SPSS, and Xchange.
