2009 Chairman's Message

Dear Business Partner:

The El Paso Hispanic Chamber of Commerce would like to thank you for giving us the opportunity to present to you BizTech 2009 the region’s premier technology expo now in its eleventh year.

BizTech is the Southwest Region’s largest meeting place for thousands of information technology professionals, community and business leaders, telecommunications providers, fellow entrepreneurs, and others looking for the best in technology solutions from both sides of the U.S.-Mexico Border.

BizTech, draws an estimated 2,500 attendees and nearly 100 exhibitors and sponsors including Cisco Systems, Dell, Microsoft, Sprint/Nextel, and IBM, just to name a few. Past sponsors recognize that Texas has a tremendous Hispanic buying market with approximately $113 billion annually. The border region and technology are critical to the State’s economic growth.

We made a decision two years ago, to alternate the BizTech EXPO every other year with a more focused Executive Luncheon event. This aligns with national trends as businesses reevaluate their budgets in tight economic times.

BizTech is successful because of the generous support of our business community! Attached is a the BizTech history, profile, agenda, and 2009 sponsorship opportunities. BizTech sponsorship will give your company a high profile presence at this important event. We appreciate your commitment to the border region marketplace.

If you have questions regarding sponsorship opportunities or would like more information about BizTech, please contact: Barbara Walker bawalker@cisco.com, Peter Cooper at PCooper@epcounty.com or EPHCC staff Rebeca Rodriguez at rrodriguez@ephcc.org or at 566-4066.
