A Word To (and From) Our Sponsors and Organizational Members

We extend special thanks to the SISO Sponsors and Organizational Members for 2011!

If your organization is not already a SISO sponsor or Organizational Member, here are some compelling reasons for becoming one:

1. SISO Sponsors are the key to SISO's ability to hold the Simulation Interoperability Workshops (SIWs) -- the best place to hear about work in the simulation interoperability community. The SIWs bring together industry leaders and users from around the globe to debate, discuss and learn about technologies, business opportunities, and new simulation applications.
    
2. SISO Sponsors have access to the members of the Executive Committee (EXCOM), who have a strong interest in advancing simulation interoperability and its standardization.
    
3. SISO Sponsors enjoy benefits such as discounted registration and display space at US SIWs, listing in the SIW agenda and on the SISO website, and access to attendee mailing lists.
    
4. SISO Sponsors have high visibility among SISO's loyal core membership. Many members have been involved in simulation interoperability through DIS and now SISO for 15 years or more.
    
5. SISO Sponsors interact with SIW attendees, a "Who's Who" in simulation interoperability -- including leading customers, developers and researchers. The SIW attendees mingle with colleagues in a relaxed, casual environment, and discuss the future of simulation interoperability with the people who are shaping that future.
    
6. SISO Sponsors benefit from SISO's association with government sponsors such as M&SCO and NAVSEA and with partner organizations such as The Society for Modeling & Simulation International (SCS).
    
7. SISO supports global events, with a global, world-class audience. SISO Sponsors have exposure to simulation users from around the world.
    
8. SISO Sponsors enjoy value-added benefits such as an opportunity to publish an article in the on-line Simulation Technology magazine providing an up to date discussion of their work and new products.
    
9. SISO sponsors have access to SISO's professional and knowledgeable staff to help utilize SISO resources to their fullest.
    
10. SISO Sponsors have a role in developing the simulation standards of the future.

1. Specified numbers of individual memberships (new or renewal), to be designated by the organization's primary membership Point of Contact. (See Table A in the Organizational Membership Plan.)
    
2. Options to purchase pre-paid blocks of SIW registrations at substantial discounts (see Table B) or at a 10% discount for on-site registration.
    
3. 25% (rather than 10%) discounts for exhibit booth fees for Strategic, Principal, and Sustaining Organizational Members (see Table A).
    
4. Meetings with SISO leadership at SIWs and via individual teleconferences to discuss their organization's experiences interacting with SISO, any issues they may perceive, and any recommendations they may have regarding SISO activities or standards.
