Sponsorship Opportunities

On behalf of the entire membership of The African Network (TAN), we would like to invite you to sponsor TAN’s annual conference, TANCon 2010, which will be held at the Hyatt Regency Santa Clara California USA on Saturday, October 30th, 2010.

TAN http://www.theafricannetwork.org is a not–for–profit organization headquartered in Silicon Valley, with a focus on fostering and enabling entrepreneurship and technological innovation through networking, education and mentoring.
