ESCTAIC's Offer for Companies and their Representatives

ESCTAIC's 23rd annual meeting begins on Wednesday, the 3rd of October 2012, at 2 pm and ends on Saturday, the 16th of October at 1 pm. Companies and other organizations have the possibility to participate in our annual meeting through one or more of the following options:

• A Booth for Industrial Exhibitors

  When planning your exhibition booth please remember that the official language of the congress is English. Topics and presentations with a direct relation to the products of the exhibiting companies will be placed in the congress program on Thursday or Friday, thus giving congress participants the opportunity to inform themselves in more detail at the exhibition booths. The participation fee for two company representatives is included in the booth fee (e.g. 3 x 2 m = 6 m2) for €1,000).

• A Presentation within the Context of the Scientific Program

  Interested companies can propose lectures for the scientific program. Those lectures can be given either by a company representative or by a cooperating clinician. The length of the presentation will be determined by the congress committee (approximately 15-30 minutes).

  ESCTAIC charges €600 for presentations representing the product and/or solution of a specific company; this also includes the congress registration fee for the presenting speaker.

• A Session/Workshop/Tutorial within the Context of the Scientific Program

  Interested companies can also define and organize an entire session, workshop or tutorial for the scientific program. Sessions will usually last about 90 minutes, the length of workshops and tutorials can be individually arranged. Each event will be printed in the congress program, displayed on the congress web pages and advertised on site together with the name of the supporting company. ESCTAIC charges €1,200 for a complete session as well as a workshop or tutorial. This also includes the registration fees for up to three speakers/presenters, but does not cover any travelling support. General information for the abstract format as well as abstract submission can be found in the menu.

• A Presentation within a Sponsored Lunch Break (approximately 45 minutes)

  On Thursday and Friday interested companies will have the chance to present and discuss their products and/or concepts within a sponsored lunch break (approximately 45 minutes). As a matter of course, the congress committee will participate on these presentations. The event will be printed in the congress program, displayed on the congress web pages and advertised on site together with the name of the supporting company. In addition to the sponsored lunches the fee for a sponsored lunch break is €500.

• Sponsoring of Specific Congress Expenses (congress kits, social events etc.)

  Interested companies have the chance to sponsor specific congress expenses: congress kits, one of the social events on Wednesday, Thursday or Friday evening, the sightseeing on Saturday afternoon or public transportation for the congress participants. The exact number of participants expected will be given out by the congress committee in the middle of August 2012. Individual modalities can be arranged between the company and the local organizer. The sponsoring will be printed in the congress program and displayed on the congress web pages as well as on site together with the name of the supporting company.

• Additional Sponsoring

  Every interested company is extremely welcome to support our meeting with a donation. The sponsoring will be printed in the congress program and displayed on the congress web pages as well as on site together with the name of the supporting company.

ESCTAIC may also invite individual companies or their representatives to give lectures referring to specific topics. Of course ESCTAIC will not charge anything for those presentations. ESCTAIC would ask the invited companies to bear the travel costs of their speakers whenever possible.

The agreement for your active participation should be arranged directly with the local organizers. Representatives of your company participating within the framework of our cooperation offer should also register with their name, function, date of arrival and date of departure (as well as an indication of your company's cooperation)

Should your company decide not to participate in one of our cooperation options, which we would deeply regret, you and your colleagues will still be very welcome as regular participants in 2012 in Timisoara.
