The satisfaction of our attendees is, above all, what we strive for—not simply because it is our mission to organize the best conference possible, but especially because customer satisfaction is paramount to our ability to create the community environment that makes our events so unique. Naturally, a happy and satisfied customer base also means high receptiveness to sponsored presentations.

Therefore, we have established a set of strict requirements related to sponsor-presented talks at TEK·X; these include:

• We require that all sponsors whose packages include sponsored talks to submit a brief synopsis of their presentation well ahead of time
• We only accept sponsored talks if they are technical in nature—our audience is not interested in a sales pitch
• We will, where possible, facilitate the presentation of products in a concrete and balanced environment to provide attendees with a useful context in which to evaluate them
• We work with sponsors to ensure that the content they intend to present is in sync with what our attendees expect to hear
• We reserve the right to reject any sponsored talk upon refund of all sponsorship fees if, in our sole opinion, it does not meet our standards
