Web4All sponsors are long term supporters have committed to sponsor the conference on an extended period of at least five years, without the need for yearly agreements. We'd really like to acknowledge our sponsors, without them the W4A would not exist. The sponsorship is mainly required to cover costs associated with the printing and shipping of conference proceedings (both in paper and electronic form). We also us it to waive the conference registration of our keynote speakers. Additionally, a small amount from the sponsorship is used for conference expenses (stationary, printing of programs, this website, etc.).

In some cases sponsorship from our long term supporters is for a specific set purpose, in the case of Microsoft for instance, this is for the W4A Challenge, trophies and prizes. In other cases the support is donated 'in-kind' to the value of the standard sponsorship fee.
