Information on participation, speaking opportunities and exhibit opportunities, etc., for commercial information providers (database hosts, tool providers, database producers, consultants, service providers, etc.) is available from the Conference organisers. See Sponsorship Opportunities.
Vendor/supplier/service provider speaker abstract submissions will be considered through a separate process from other abstract submissions (e.g. from actual corporate users of information). Selection of vendor presentations will also be based on merit and relevance to the overall conference program. The presentations should include technical information and be of direct benefit to the attendees.
Please note that there is a restricted number of sponsorship opportunities for presentation slots, exhibit spaces etc., and therefore vendor participation and allocation of programme time, workshops, etc., is at the discretion of the organisers.
Please also note that any special events (i.e. any organised social events or technical programs and seminars during and around the conference days) must be in consultation with, and formally pre-approved by, the conference organisers. Without exception, all attendees to the Conference and Exposition are required to strictly adhere to this condition.
