An invoice will be sent shortly thereafter for your review and execution and all payments will be due in full prior to the meeting per the terms of the agreement. Sponsorships are not considered secure until PIUG has received and confirmed acceptance of a signed, written agreement. Please also note that any special events, such as organized social events or training seminars during and around the conference days, must be formally pre-approved by the Planning Committee.

We hope you will decide to support the excellent technical programming of the PIUG, designed to provide new learning and networking opportunities for the patent information community. We look forward to seeing you in Arlington and look forward to hearing from you or your staff on or before March 4, 2005.
