.: TNT2009 Conference :.

Exhibition info

TNT conferences provide an ideal venue for industrial, academic and governmental organizations to share common objectives and drive the commercialisation of nanotechnology discoveries.

This year we have chosen Barcelona for TNT2009. This lively city is located on the Spanish Mediterranean coast, and is well connected by road and rail to other parts of Spain and Europe. In addition, Barcelona International Airport is the second largest in Spain. Research Institutes and Universities, technology and research centres (ICN - CIN2 - IN2UB) and extensive business and industrial activities, all combine to give Barcelona, and its surroundings, its singular potential for commercial growth and development.

TNT2009 also wants to encourage local entrepreneurial companies, universities and technological research centers to join the conference, and to participate in the exhibition.
For this purpose, the organisation will set-up a macro exhibition area with standardized exhibition stands for Technological Research Centers, Universities, Spin-Offs and N&N initiatives from Cataluña area.

This Cataluña N&N macro-stand will therefore allow:
1. To represent the Scientific, Technological and Innovative agents of the Cataluña region as a whole.
2. To foster relationships between its members and other participants.
3. To promote Cataluña culture of innovation.
4. To better integrate the Catalan “Science-Technology-Company-Society” system in Europe.
5. To generate and develop scientific and technological knowledge
6. To improve competitiveness and contribute to the economic and social development of the Cataluña area

Join us at TNT2009 to meet new and former customers, to get feedback from clients and, why not?, to make new friends. See you in Barcelona

Exhibition opening: from Monday morning to Thursday evening

PASSPORT TO PRIZES PROGRAM
To help you create maximum lead generation and company recognition at the TNT2009 conference, we are pleased to bring back the “Passport to Prizes” program. This program will help drive traffic to booths and generate additional floor traffic throughout the entire exhibit hall. During the Award ceremony we will give away prizes provided by participating exhibitors.

As a Participant in the Passport to Prizes Program you will receive:
· Recognition during the giveaway ceremony for your prize
· Visibility with the prize list
· Your company logo and prize on the passport game card

If you have prizes you would care to offer, please let us know. You will have to bring the prize to TNT2009 so the winners can take it home with them.

How Does the Passport to Prizes program Work?
Each TNT2009 attendee will be issued a passport card at registration. This card contains the logos of all exhibiting companies. Attendees will be responsible for collecting stamps from the participating exhibitor companies listed on their passport. For that exhibitors will be given a stamp with a number. Once attendees have completed their passport card, they will deposit it into the ticket box. All completed entries will be eligible for a prize drawing that will be conducted during the Poster Award Ceremony. Prize winners must be present to claim their prize.
