Five Reasons to be One of our Partners through Course Sponsorship

  1.  Sponsoring the 2018 MLMC provides the opportunity to demonstrate your organization's commitment to excellence as a world leader in promoting innovative state-of-the-art light microscopy technologies through supporting educational development for students and professionals.
  2.  Sponsorship is a key component to a powerful marketing strategy that will provide organizational exposure to a wide-reaching audience of professionals and other stakeholders around the world who will be informed about this training course and its outcomes.
  3.  Participating sponsors and course equipment suppliers gain access to all conference sessions and can therefore benefit from the microscopy scientific program.
  4.  The Keynote Lecture, Lunch-N-Learns, coffee breaks and social events during the course week provide networking opportunities and facilitate dialogue between exhibitors and delegates. This is a valuable opportunity to promote your brand and establish trust and rapport with attendees.
  5.  Partnership and sponsorship with the 2018 MLMC is an important sales strategy because your representatives will be able to form new business contact opportunities and to network with world class course faculty.

Should your commitment not include a complimentary registration, industry representatives are invited to register and participate in the MLMC. The registration fee for industry representatives is $600.00 ($689.85 including applicable taxes). Course materials, daily lectures, coffee breaks, buffet lunch, Lunch-N-Learn sessions, Monday opening reception, Wednesday Keynote Lecture and reception, and Friday night closing dinner, are included in the fee (only the hands-on workshops are not included).
