The annual ACM SIGKDD International Conferences on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining have become the premier event for the data mining community, bringing together KDD professionals from around the world. Featuring keynote addresses, invited speakers, industrial and research paper/poster tracks, demonstrations, exhibits, workshops, tutorials, panels and the KDD Cup competition, they offer an excellent forum for data mining researchers and practitioners to discuss and share ideas, experiences, tools and products.

Exhibiting at the conference offers opportunities to distribute product, service, and company literature, give demonstrations and carry out recruitment activities. Details are as follows:

1. General (non-sponsoring) Exhibitors will be offered a booth (US$5000) or a tabletop (US$2500). Sponsors will be given priority in booth allocation over non-sponsoring, general exhibitors.
2. For Non-profit research organizations and publishers, the price will be US$2500. However, they will have lowest priority for booth allocation.
3. Benefits for an Exhibitor
   • A booth based on the price above
   • One complimentary registration for one person manning the booth
   • Reduced exhibitor registration fee for all others manning the booth (US$400 by May 15, 2010; US$480 by June 30, 2010; US$620 after July 1, 2010)
   • One company logo on the conference web site (in the exhibitor section)
   • Ability to include a flyer or CD in conference bag for an additional fee of $900 per item
4. Booth allocations will be made on June 18th. Every company who has signed up as a sponsor or a general exhibitor by that date will be allocated a booth using the following two rules:
   1. sponsors will be allocated a booth before general exhibitors, and
   2. ties will be broken on a first-come-first basis.
5. Companies signing up after June 18th as a sponsor or an exhibitor will be assigned booths from the remaining set of booths on a first come first basis.
6. Exhibitors will be responsible for bringing all hardware and software required for their exhibits. Some equipment (powerstrips, etc.) may be available for an additional charge.
