-
The Sponsorship Program
-
The Mentorship Program
Companies can support XP2003 according to various sponsorship profiles.

Individuals can support XP2003 via a mentorship. A Mentor is a person helping other people attending XP2003. The task of the mentor is:
-
to recruit people coming to the conference in her or his community;
-
to organize their registrations as an early registration; all the people coming with the mentor should register together under the mentor's name;
-
to arrange for their early payments: the mentor should collect the registration fees and then make the advance payment to the conference at the time of the early registration;
-
to help the mentored people in making their arrangements for coming to the conference-travel, hotel, etc.
The mentor name is acknowledged on the XP2003 web site. The mentor gets one
free pass after s/he recruits the first 10 fully registered people, and one additional free pass every additional 5 fully registered people coming with her or him.Also in this case, the free pass includes attendance to the conference and the related workshops, plus participation at the conference dinner. It does not include attendance to tutorials.
