Scientific Program
This year, we expect about 300-400 participants in the field of magnetic microspheres, magnetic nanospheres, ferrofluids, and other magnetic particles and magnetic nanoparticles, and their application in such diverse fields as magnetic targeting (drugs and radiopharmaceuticals), MRI imaging, diagnostics, immunoassays, molecular biology, RNA- and DNA purification, cell separation and purification, cell adhesion research, and hyperthermia. Our participants are a very diverse group from academia, industry and medicine. They include chemists, physicists, (biomedical) engineers, pharmaceutical technologists, medical doctors, biologists, and company representatives.
Although our meeting is very focused, we share experiences from many different scientific, medical and technical fields. Our meeting on purpose runs only one session at a time, and all meals and side trips are included in the registration fee. This allows everybody to meet the relevant players in the field and get all his or her questions answered and discussed, both during the day and during the evening activities. We also value the session breaks, thus allowing everybody to interact with the exhibitors and view the posters.
Exhibits (tables or your own booths) will be up during the entire meeting. In addition, we will place a sponsor's or exhibitor's logo here on our website. The one for Micromod below is an example, and you can see more of them here.
Micromodhttp://www.micromod.de/
For more than 10 years Micromod has been well known as a reliable source of magnetic and other functional nano and micro particles. Micromod´s customers, who come from life sciences industries and research institutions, appreciate the high level of product quality and services.
Several sponsorship opportunities are available which will give you and your organization direct exposure to a targeted group of some 300 to 400 individuals and companies working in the magnetic particle field. The sponsorship opportunities include:
| Activity | Sponsorship Fee | Logo on Conference Website | Table Top Exhibit Space * | 1 Page Advert in Abstract Booklet | Mention of Sponsorship During Event or Breaks |
