ISA EXPO 2009 is your quick, easy, and direct connection to the trade press.

When you became an exhibitor you also automatically got the opportunity to get your company, products, and services featured in key pre-show issues of many of the leading trade magazines. And it's as easy as e-mailing your materials to a single place - ISA.

Send in your news and product releases on or before Wednesday, 15 July 2009 and ISA will submit them to all of the leading publications on your behalf.

It's quick, it's easy, and you've already paid for the service! Don't leave money and valuable press coverage on the table. Check the format requirements at the link below, then e-mail your news and product releases to ISA today.

Review the news and product release format requirements.

Get additional recognition and press coverage for your innovative new product or service by entering it in the InTech Innovator's Awards.  

It's easy to do, and the qualifications are as follows:

Candidates (individuals, organizations, or companies) must have made significant and unique contributions to any field in the Automation profession. This includes, but is not limited to the design, development, and construction of tools, equipment, technical services, instrumentation, and/or an innovative service or contribution in Automation.

Entries are judged according to the following criteria:

• Does the application overcome a technical hurdle?
• Are the benefits and solution clearly articulated?
• Is the solution innovative, time-saving, and cost-effective?

Submit an abstract no more than 300 words describing the innovation and its outcome.

Deadline for entries is 4 September and you can e-mail them to intechmagazine@isa.org.

There will be a Gold, Silver and Bronze award winner selected by the editors of InTech and an independent committee comprised of industry professionals that will evaluate the written abstract and any art submitted with the application. All selected entries will be highlighted at ISA EXPO 2009 at the InTech Innovation Award booth and in the show daily. The winning entry will be announced at the Thursday Keynote Presentation.

If you're looking for ways to reach more people at ISA EXPO, stand out from the crowd, or reach out to a new group of prospects, sponsorships are the way to do it.

There are several opportunities to make your corporate mark at ISA EXPO. But you have to hurry, because these sponsorships are limited and sell out pretty quickly. Check out the Sponsorship Opportunities brochure and pick out a product that makes sense for your company, before it gets snatched up by someone else
