In the year of 2008, APRICOT will be held in Taipei, Taiwan, hosted by Taiwan Network Information Center (TWNIC). We cordially invite you to join and support this grand event.
 
APRICOT provides substantial benefits to the Asia Pacific Internet development. Due to the fact that APRICOT is organized by an Executive Committee comprised of volunteers from the various Asia Pacific Internet related organizations, therefore, it relies on strategic sponsorships to assist it in fulfilling its role.

Your sponsorship will help APRICOT 2008 to meet the following objectives:
  • Reducing the financial burden on members attending APRICOT by securing contributions of monetary or in-kind support in areas such as meeting rooms, equipment, Internet connection, social activities, and meals.
  • Providing a unique and successful educational forum for Internet builders in the region to learn from their peers and other leaders in the Internet Community from around the world which will contribute to the Internet development of the region.
In return for the support, sponsors will be presented with valuable opportunities to expose your organization, products and services to an international audience of Internet builders. Most importantly, this exposure would be in the context of a respected, recognized, and highly credible forum.
