The following sponsorship opportunities are available:

AUTHORS COFFEE
Each morning, between 350 and 400 speakers gather with fellow technical program presenters for a continental breakfast to discuss the program schedule and to review their presentations. Take this opportunity to sponsor a morning's breakfast at the exclusive or partial sponsor levels. Your company's name will appear on signs, custom-printed napkins with your logo, and will be acknowledged in the conference program. Register early to select the day you wish to sponsor--Monday through Thursday.

COFFEE BREAKS
Located in the break areas outside technical session rooms, all meeting attendees will be offered coffee breaks. Three prime locations will be set. You can specify the location nearest the papers in your topic area. Breaks will be set each morning, Monday through Thursday. Sponsorship includes a sign on the break table and sponsor recognition in the meeting program.

TMS AWARDS BANQUET
Through this unique opportunity, you will reach the industry leaders attending the TMS banquet. More than 300 participants attend this premiere society event. Each guest will receive a banquet program acknowledging your company's sponsorship. In addition, signs will be posted and an announcement made during the program to recognize your organization as sponsor. Sponsorship will also be acknowledged in the conference program. Select banquet opening reception or the dessert buffet to place your name prominently before this group.

INFORMATION AND MESSAGE CENTER
Your sponsorship here will provide for a central message and information center in the main lobby of the San Antonio Convention Center. A large sign will identify you as the Message Center sponsor, and your sponsorship will be acknowledged in the conference program. This exclusive opportunity will be offered to only one sponsor.

E-MAIL CORRAL
All meeting attendees will have the opportunity to remotely access e-mail or log on to the Internet from the exhibition show floor. This E-Mail Corral will be heavily promoted in advance and registration confirmation mailings and at the show. The E-Mail Corral will be setup as a lounge area with multiple terminals, "framed" on four corners, with an entryway featuring your company's logo and sponsorship recognition. In addition, sponsorship will be acknowledged in the meeting program.

TECHNICAL SESSION LOCATOR BOARD
A "You Are Here" locator detailing technical session schedule and the convention center floorplan, this board will be referenced by all technical session participants. The board will be placed in a high-traffic area near registration, the exhibits, and the technical session rooms. It will feature your logo and company name indicating sponsorship of this board.

AT-MEETING PROGRAM: PARTIAL SPONSOR
The program is distributed at registration to all conference registrants. It is the primary reference source for schedule, program, and function information for all attendees. Credits for sponsorship of the program would appear on the cover, along with signage throughout registration.

1998 TMS FOUNDATION GOLF CLASSIC
For detail on this event, visit the TMS Foundation Golf Classic page. It is possible to sponsor individual holes (tee and green), food service for the event, and skill contests for the participants.

ADDITIONAL SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
Several other sponsorship opportunites are available where alternative forms of support are provided. This additional sponsorship opportunity is available in two forms: the donation of door and/or raffle prizes (the organization will be recognized in the program and at the awards banquet); the underwriting of a menu selection during the opening reception for the exhibition.
