3. why be a sponsor /

In this modern era, the process of acquiring new business prospects has never beenmore demanding. In business-to-business and relationship marketing, event sponsorship has become the most effective approach to stay competitive in the 21st century.

Successful business managers recognize that a strong and targeted event offeringrelationship building can deliver not only long-term positioning but also immediate

short-term sales. It is arguable that modern day sponsorship, as a marketing and communications tool, has overtaken advertising in its ability to pinpoint and deliver brand messages. Sponsorship can deliver strong brand awareness and exposure more quickly than the more traditional marketing communication tools.

DNGCE is committed to strengthening regional and global market awareness for our sponsor brands, and firmly

believe that the most efficient return on sponsorship investment occurs when a quality partnership is formed. Sponsorship benefits are fully tailored to suit corporate development and marketing objectives. DNGCE works closely with sponsor marketing teams to ensure that each sponsor receives maximum exposure and opportunity for each sponsorship dollar invested.

Under the patronage of HH Sheikh Hamad Bin Khalifa Al-Thani, Emir of the State of Qatar, the 7th Doha Natural Gas Conference & Exhibition (7th DNGCE) will be held from 9 - 12 March, 2009 at Doha Exhibition Center.

The Exhibition designed to complement the Conference brings together industry leaders to present themselves professionally and effectively and generate new business relationships, find reliable and highly professional partners who are acquainted with new market trends.

The Exhibition comprises representatives from major multinational companies, government organisations, traders, suppliers and manufacturers, project financiers, trade publications, consumers and technical consulting experts, converging with the very latest in services and products.

Sponsorship with Qatar Expo provides your company the opportunity to be in the spotlight and positions you as an industry leader, leaving a strong impression of your brand in people’s minds. Your company not only gets optimum exposure on-site, but also during pre-show and post-show activities.
