NECyto Meeting announcement - Invitation to Exhibitors / Vendors

[Konz, Richard]

Greetings everyone:

 

The New England Cytometry Users Group would like to announce the date and program for our annual Fall meeting.  It will be on October 14th from 8 am to 5 pm at the beautiful Starr Center at the Schepens Eye Research Institute in Boston.  Registration will open at 8:15 am with breakfast being served.

As always, we look forward to interact with the vendors who provide us the tools and supplies to make our Research and Diagnostic work a reality. As well, our meeting success depends on sponsorships from our vendors. As many of you know, our last few meetings have been very successful, with attendance from 125 - 185 people spanning the US and Canada. Please see the list below of sponsorship levels and table sizes. As well, we are offering the opportunity to sponsor breakfast and breaks. Please contact me directly if you are considering sponsoring one of the breaks.  Please send your check payable to "New England Cytometry Users Group" to me at the address below.

As we are all facing difficult financial times and to allow more of our exhibitors to attend this conference we are maintaining our vendor table rates from last year:

6 foot table [2 attendees admitted] $700.00
[2] 6 foot tables [4 attendees admitted] $1200.00
Literature Only [no attendee, we will set up] $500.00
Additional Vendor attendees will incur a registration fee of $65.00.

Please let me know if you will require any electrical outlets for instrumentation or computer workstations. There is a nearby loading dock and street access for literature or instrumentation. If you will be shipping anything to the conference, please contact me as well.

I look forward to working with you to make our meeting a mutual success. 

We have an excellent line up of speakers this year!  It looks to be one of our best meetings yet and the venue is excellent.
