Overview

The 2009 SAE ALUMNI CONVENTION will be the perfect venue for an unforgettable media event for all participants.

The CONVENTION is the next logical step in the SAE ALUMNI Association’s networking philosophy. Our central annual event brings together alumni, students, and partner companies from the media industry.

Along with another expansion of the trade show and seminar schedule, this year’s focus is on the CONVENTION’S international character. The bilingual convention guide and seminars presented in English will accommodate our visitors from abroad. Since last year’s exhibition space wasn’t big enough to meet the needs of all exhibitors and partner companies, it has been expanded by 1,000m2 to provide our friends and partners with a total of 45 trade show booths and 17 demo suites.

Once again, the CONVENTION’S highlight will be the CONVENTION PARTY: the ALUMNI AWARDS, the famous convention buffet with open bar, and an extensive entertainment show with numerous live performances promise to make the evening another unforgettable experience.

The pricing for a suite is not based on its category but solely on its size (small, medium, large). For location and installations, please refer to the floor plan.

Technical Lectures

We would appreciate if you could add a short technical lecture on a current topic to our schedule. It is an opportunity to demonstrate your competence and, at the same time, contributes to the convention’s educational aspect – one of the core values of the SAE ALUMNI Association.
