[Foss4g2008loc] Potential Exhibitors and Sponsors

[Magda Roos]

Dear All,

Please find attached a list of potential exhibitors and sponsors. My idea is 
to send an invitation letter to all the companies on the list WITH 
addresses.

If any of you can assist with wrong/missing contact details, please forward 
it to me directly (mroos at geoscience.org.za). Please note that I will only be 
sending a letter INVITING them to participate in the exhibition. You are 
more than welcome to approach them personally and convince them to be part 
of the conference! All bookings should however be done through myself 
(exhibitions) or Dawn (sponsorships).

Your assistance will be appreciated.
