Dear Sponsors,
On behalf of the SMi Group, the organisers of Global MilSatCom, I
would like to invite you to sponsor our 18th annual show, described by
our audience as ‘the best networking event’ in their calendar.
At the time of writing this note, I have great pleasure in confirming
that this year’s show is yet again likely to be the biggest it has ever
been in terms of number of sponsors, exhibitors and attendees. With
only a handful of packages remaining I am sure we will sell out again.
I would like to thank all of our sponsors and exhibitors who have
signed up already to this year’s must-attend event.
We will be doing our best to look after you this year and keep you
informed about the exciting developments in our MilSatCom portfolio.
As the Global MilSatCom brand continues to grow, we are continuing
to invest and as a result are providing you with the most international
conference and exhibition with nearly 500 attendees from over 30
countries.
My job as the show’s Director is to provide you with the most
appropriate sponsorship package and to ensure your expectations
are met over the course of the 4 days.
The next few months will be a busy time but I would encourage you
to contact me to secure your participation as a sponsor or exhibitor
at this year’s show.
Kind Regards
Alia Malick
Director
