Highlight your company's name as a leader in language technology
The 40th annual meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics will bring together approximately 500 professionals from universities, industrial research laboratories, both US and international government agencies, and commercial ventures. A highlight of this year's conference will be the prominent role given to commercial sponsors, aimed at attracting the latest e-Business trends in the field. If you are a Web-oriented company involved in language technology, this conference will offer the single best opportunity for visibility and impact in North America in the year 2002.
On behalf of the ACL, we would like to invite you to consider being a sponsor of the 2002 ACL conference. By sponsoring the ACL conference, you will demonstrate your company’s leadership in the exciting field of natural language processing to an audience of key researchers from industry, government, and academia. In addition, your contribution will help defray conference costs and provide special opportunities for students who otherwise would be unable to attend. You will be investing in the future of language technology by supporting student travel and accommodations, student sessions, and other conference activities.

The policy on promotional materials provides details on this process.
