MUSE EU values the attendance of vendors at each annual conference, both in terms of content and the financial contribution they make. The following exciting opportunities are available to vendors at the MUSE EU Annual Conference 2010:

As space is limited, MUSE EU is required to assess the proposed contribution to be made by each vendor, shortlist, and then appoint on the basis of best fit for the MUSE EU 2010 Conference and its members.

 

Shortlisting will then take place, and vendors will be notified of outcome by 30 July 2010. We welcome your support and thank you in advance for your valued contribution.
