Sponsor and Exhibitor General Information

The United States Association for Computational Mechanics (USACM) will host the 9th United States National Congress on Computational Mechanics (USNCCM-IX) on July 22-26, 2007 at the Hyatt Regency San Francisco Hotel in San Francisco California. USACM is a member of the International Association for Computational Mechanics , a worldwide organization with 27 affiliated organizations representing 35 countries.

The USNCCM-IX Organizing Committee is soliciting organizations interested in participating in our Sponsorship and Exhibitors Program. Based on the attendance at recent US National Congresses (Austin TX in July 2005 and Albuquerque NM in July 2003) we expect 1000-1200 participants for the San Francisco venue; more than 950 attended the 2005 Austin Congress.

Congress participants are drawn from industry, academia, and government with an approximate split of 20% from industry, 60% from academia, and 20% from national laboratories and government agencies. The participants have a broad interest in computational mechanics with the majority working or researching in solid mechanics. Attendee interest is rapidly expanding the areas of nanomechanics, biomechanics, and computational fluid mechanics.

Congress participants will be interested in viewing and discussing publications, software, hardware, and other materials, including educational, related to computational mechanics in our Exhibit Area. The Exhibitor Area will purposefully be the focus of daily activities, e.g. refreshments, to provide maximum traffic for our exhibitors.

With attendees expected from over 40 countries, in addition to an ever increasing participation by residents of the United States, exhibiting at this US National Congress provides a unique low cost opportunity to present your product or service to a large international and national audience.
