ASID Annual Scientific Conference Sponsorship

Please contact Vanessa Towell on 61 2 8204 0770 or via email Vanessa.towell@ashm.org.au for information regarding the sponsorship packages available for the ASID Scientific Meeting in 2009.

The conference provides extensive marketing, promotion and networking opportunities.  Sponsorship of the conference and associated activities provides you with the following benefits in addition to the ones outlined under the sponsorship packages:

  1. A significant marketing advantage
  2. Corporate goodwill from conference delegates
  3. Relationship marketing
  4. Creation of brand awareness and acceptance
  5. Increased business potential
  6. Enhanced company profile
  7. Direct access and networking opportunities with an audience made up of your current and potential clients (key decision makers in the area of infectious diseases i.e., department heads, opinion leaders, research program directors, drug committee representatives).

Sponsorship packages have been developed to maximise the exposure and networking opportunities for each sponsoring organisation and are structured to ensure your organisation gains the most value from its investment.  Sponsorship packages are professionally delivered, ensuring that delegates remember sponsors and recognise the positive contribution sponsors make.

It has been an ASID policy not to have Company Booths and a separate Trade Display. We feel this has allowed members of the Industry to participate more fully in the meeting, has led to less division and a more convivial meeting at which members of Industry have felt included and able to network freely among ASID members. When canvassed, industry representatives have felt that the absence of the display has been beneficial to a better involvement in the meeting and an easier access to members, and a less ‘them and us’ hierarchy when compared with other meetings.
