Exhibitions, Sponsoring & Short Presentations

Conference Exhibition

During the three conference days, leading suppliers of PAT-related equipment are invited to exhibit their products in a presentation room, allowing participants

• to get to know systems from various manufacturers,
• to personally meet with potentially interesting suppliers and
• to learn more about the performance of the latest equipment.

If you would like to exhibit, you can choose between the following options:

• Register for the exhibition only
• Register employees of your firm for the participation in the event itself (as an exhibitor, one employee is granted a 50% discount on the registration fee).
• Inform you customers about the event and collect bonus points for their registration
• Sponsor the event

Detailed information can be found on the registration form (see link below).

If there is enough room for an exhibition, we offer this opportunity for every event. As there may only be room for few stand spaces, we assign them according to the order of incoming requests.

SHORT PRESENTATIONS

Exhibitors can also benefit from a new opportunity and present new developments and systems in a lecture during the conference. This lecture should focus on scientific aspects (no advertising), though, and last no longer than 15 min (including discussion). We may refuse proposals if we can not identify any benefits for conference delegates. Also, please note that the number of presentation slots is limited.

How do you get a presentation slot?

1. Please send a short summary of your lecture to Dr. Günter Brendelberger at CONCEPT HEIDELBERG - brendelberger@concept-heidelberg.de. The lecture proposed has to be approved by the members of the Steering Committee of the University of Heidelberg QbD/PAT Conference 2009 (Ken Leiper, UK, and Dr. Gabriele Reich, University of Heidelberg, Germany).
    
2. There is no extra fee applicable to companies who want to give a presentation (you only need a regular registration for the conference which is 1990€ for all participants). However, as mentioned we expect a presentation which does not focus on commercial aspects.
    
3. Alternatively you can register for the conference exhibition (1490€), and your speaker will receive a 50% discount for the registration fees (995€ instead of 1990€). This means, total charges are 2.485 € (plus VAT) and include conference exhibition, participation of your speaker in the whole conference and the short presentation by your company.

• Sponsoring of lunch or coffee breaks
• Sponsoring of the social event

Your advantage of sponsoring

• You establish contact with exactly those persons who want to get informed about the specific conference subject.
• Participants benefit directly from your presentation or sponsoring and will therefore dedicate much more attention to you than to an advertisement, for example.

Sponsoring of coffee breaks, lunch or a social event

• This type of sponsoring is of an exclusive nature because only one company can act as a sponsor at a time.
• Participants and lecturers will be informed about the sponsor in their participants' documentation, furthermore, a sign informs about the sponsor during the coffee breaks. For lunch, the sponsor's name will be printed on the menus!

Package A Coffee Breaks
The cost: EURO 800,-

Package B Lunch
The cost: EURO 800,-

Package C Social Event
The cost: Depending on the event

• Sponsoring a social event is an interesting opportunity for presenting your company. Even after many years, participants will associate an entertaining event with the company whose sponsoring was necessary to make it happen.
• You may cooperate in the organisation of the social event, i.e. you decide the scope of this event - from dinner in a restaurant up to an excursion and gala dinners with artistic entertainment everything is possible.
