Program Book the conference Program Book is the delegate’s bible. this publication contains everything that a delegate needs to know about the conference when onsite and is an invaluable reference tool for delegates during and following the conference. the educational and scientific nature of the Program Book combined with the blank pages for delegates to make notes at the back, ensures that it will leave a lasting impression on delegates and that it remains a reference tool well beyond the conference.

Delegate name Badge & lanyardsEach delegate will receive a name Badge when registering at the conference which they will wear attached to a lanyard around their neck when onsite at the conference. the name Badge identifies the sessions that the delegate has registered to attend. it is constantly handled and is always in full view for all delegates to see which reinforces the delegate’s awareness of your brand.

Satchel Each delegate will receive a conference satchel full of information about the conference. the satchel is an item that many delegates use throughout the conference to hold their personal belongings and will continue to use even after the conference has finished. the satchel contains everything that a delegate needs to know about the conference and the companies exhibiting including new products and is a valuable tool for delegates during and following the conference. the design of the satchel means that a delegate is exclusively exposed to your brand every time they open and close the satchel thus reinforcing your brand. the satchels multi-functionality will leave a lasting impression of your brand on delegates as they will use them during and following the conference.

conference Applicationthe conference will have its own smart phone application than can be downloaded by delegates to access a range of conference information. fully operational within the venue Wi-fi delegates will able to view the full conference program, create their own personalised program of sessions to attend, access the exhibition floor plan and view speaker profiles. this opportunity provides prime delegate awareness of your brand as delegates will constantly be interacting with the application throughout the conference.

Stationery (sponsor to provide pads and pens)

the ability for delegates to take and refer to notes during and beyond the conference is crucial and while the Program Book provides some space, it is insufficient for the delegate’s needs. Providing a pen and an A4 sized writing pad are valuable items for the delegates and with them included in the satchel, which every delegate receives, ensures reinforcement of your brand to all delegates. this is an exclusive opportunity for a small outlay.

Plenary Session Programconference Plenary sessions are highlights of the conference Program and are usually presented by a well-known and respected international speaker(s). the Plenary session is a stand-alone session, held historically on the Saturday morning, which is the most well attended day of the conference, attended by the majority of delegates. this session is an important educational experience and aligning your brand alongside will ensure that you gain the maximum exposure at one time and in once place.



concurrent Session Program concurrent sessions comprise a large component of the conference Program. they involve all of the conference speakers, include the broadest cross-section of educational information and are attended by all of the delegates often on multiple occasions. these sessions are an important educational experience and aligning your brand alongside will ensure that you gain the maximum reinforcement and recall of your brand by delegates.

international SpeakerMajor highlights of the conference program are the sessions presented by renowned international speakers. these sessions are historically the most popular and well attended achieving the most constructive feedback from delegates.

As an international speaker sponsor you will enjoy a personal relationship with the speaker at the faculty and gala dinners and be provided with the right to present the thank-you gift to the speaker on stage during the gala Dinner.

We will provide an introduction to the speaker pre conference so that an initial relationship can be formed and we will ensure that you are personally introduced to the speaker at the earliest opportunity. Your company should not miss the opportunity to gain premium and concentrated levels of exposure.

PatientsWorkshops are an integral component of a conference and enable delegates to see the theory in practice. Workshops will only be successful if patients kindly contribute their time and allow selected body parts and in some cases of an intrusive nature to be examined. As up to 20 patients per day are needed this is an excellent opportunity to make a significant contribution to the conference for a minimal outlay. the sponsorship can be in the form of a direct financial contribution or the provision of a product or gift to the value of the sponsorship.

Satchel insertEach delegate will receive a conference satchel full of information about the conference. the satchel is an item that many delegates use throughout the conference to hold their personal belongings. the satchel is the best opportunity to reach your target market at a cost effective price by inserting your company brochure, flyer, cD or information on a new product or service directly to the delegate.
