PROSPECTUS WELCOME LETTER

Dear IBM Business Partner,
Welcome to IBM InterConnect 2015: The Premier Cloud and Mobile Conference. This new event will take place at the MGM Grandand Mandalay Bay Convention Centers on February 22 - 26, 2015.
IBM InterConnect will connect three popular IBM conferences—Impact, Innovate and Pulse—and combine the best in educationand networking, into one of the most comprehensive software events ever. With a focus on Cloud, Service Management, Security,Mobile, DevOps, Internet of Things and Application Infrastructure, this event offers an unparalleled opportunity to share yourexpertise with more than 20,000 attendees.
We also have exciting changes to announce for this event! Our team is working to create an engaging EXPO experience for ourattendees – we are accomplishing this by designing a more open floor plan, incorporating additional activities on the show floorand leveraging new booth architecture. The goal is to promote attendee networking and education.
As we begin to implement this new look and feel, we are offering you the opportunity to enhance your presence on the SolutionEXPO floor and simplify your planning process. By selecting a Gold Plus, Silver Plus or Exhibitor Plus Package, your floor presencewill be upgraded to a full-service experience, including floor space, pedestal, monitor(s), electrical, etc. This choice allows you toreduce your shipping, drayage, and set-up/tear-down expenses. The new Gold Plus and Silver Plus options give you a larger boothspace to accommodate more attendees and a greater return for this nominal investment. They also afford you a premium locationin the Solution EXPO.
Plus Size Booths: • Gold Plus Sponsor - 20x20 • Silver Plus Sponsor - 10x20
While you still have the option of using your own booth property this year, we encourage you to take advantage of the newpackages which offer an environment that is proven to be a more effective way to engage attendees in a large EXPO experience.
Learn more in our Sponsorship ProspectusBefore submitting your online application, please take a moment to review this Sponsorship Prospectus, which includes detailsabout all of our offerings.
Remember, when you select a Plus offering, we take care of everything for you – saving you the cost of shipping yourbooth, selecting individual elements for your space, and reducing set-up time – leaving you more time for networkingand/or attending the IBM Business Partner Summit!
We look forward to working with you and your team as we prepare for our biggest and most successful Solution EXPO ever!

IBM InterConnect 2015 EXPO Team
