Patron Program
			
				IEEE RFID 2009 is IEEE’s premier global RFID technology conference and is attended by leading academic and industrial RFID researchers, implementation engineers, and company executives. The industry patron program presents an opportunity for corporations to help the IEEE conference organizers to maintain low conference registration costs. In return, patron companies are provided with high visibility as global leaders in RFID technology research, applications and systems implementation. There are several levels of participation in the patron program, each with specific benefits to the patron corporations, as described below. For more information, contact Brian Fraser at PublicityChair@ieee-rfid.org.
