Advertising FAQs

For 27 years the volunteers and computer professionals at USENIX and SAGE have worked toward the advancement of the computer technology industry, by consistently providing topic-specific forums for informative and relevant technical dialog. USENIX and SAGE members are highly regarded academics, engineers, systems administrators, developers and students, and therefore integral to the development of our internationally renowned community. The best way to reach our members is to earn their respect as part of this community effort.

As a not-for-profit organization, we have very defined policies regarding member privacy, the use of our mailing lists and advertising opportunities. The best way to reach our members is to become a part of this community.

What opportunities are available?

  1. Mailing List Rental

    USENIX maintains a database of members and non-members in a general file as well as selects according to membership classification and conference attendance. All members are included in the mailing lists unless otherwise requested. Privacy is a pressing issue with our members and our policies reflect their wants and needs. USENIX does not provide specialized queries within our database. Lists are drawn primarily from conference attendance.

    Use of the USENIX mailing list is restricted to Association Supporting Members and to select partners. Approved partners and members must provide a sample of the mail piece and use a bonded, third party mail house. All mailing lists are intended for a single use only. All information in USENIX mailing lists is the property of the USENIX Association. Retention and reuse of mailing list information is considered a violation of USENIX policies.

  2. Advertising in ;login:

    ;login: is a members-only magazine published by the USENIX Association. Written and edited by USENIX members, ;login: is a respected source of technical information and news.

    Advertising in ;login: is primarily available to supporting members and selected partners of USENIX and SAGE. See our Advertising in ;login: page for further information.

  3. Advertising in conference directories

    USENIX conferences have earned the reputation for reaching the cream of the technical industry through excellent programs, speakers, and organization. If you are looking to meet and greet our membership, participating in our conferences is the key.

    Each conference attendee receives a program directory of the speakers, sessions, exhibitors, and events. Advertising in this directory gives you a direct link to highly technical professionals in top companies. Advertising is a benefit for conference exhibitors and selected USENIX partners.

  4. Web Buttons and Text Links

    Conference Exhibitors will be asked to send a logo and linking URL for the exhibition pages of the conference in which they are participating. Supporting members of USENIX and SAGE are also entitled to a text link from our Supporting Members pages. Sponsors of the SAGE Certification program will be able to include their logos on the Certification pages.

How do we get approved for advertising and mailing list rental?

  1. Become a USENIX Supporting Member

    As part of their benefits, a supporting member is allowed a one-time rental of a specific mailing list and one full-page ad in ;login. See our membership web page for details.

  2. Participate in a USENIX Conference

    Participating as an exhibitor at one of our conferences is a way to reach your target audience face to face. Exhibitor benefits include directory advertising, web logo/links, inclusion in exhibition and conference advertising, options for hosting special onsite events (with or without givaways) as well as numerous formal and informal networking opprotunities.

    See our schedule of conferences or contact [email protected] for exhibitor packets and conference details.

  3. Partner with USENIX and SAGE

    Customized reciprocal trades and exchanges are part of USENIX's relationship with many organizations. Partnerships provide ideal tools for reaching your specific audiences and interest groups. USENIX and SAGE projects and conferences not only have a reputation for spanning a wide range of topics without sacrificing high quality technical content, but also for providing the very best in food and accommodation. Becoming a USENIX and SAGE partner means being in touch with the innovators and creators of the computer industry on an international level.
