SPEAKING OPPORTUNITES:

SPONSORSHIP & EXHIBITION OPPORTUNITES:
If your firm provides solutions to clinical trial sponsors, sites or CROs, a conference partnership offers you the opportunity to increase your visibility and meet decision-makers in a focused audience. MAGI refers to sponsors and exhibitors "partners" because you contribute to the educational content of the meeting. Because the focus of our exhibit area is education as well as commerce, conference attendees visit exhibits to find out what they can learn. If you confirm your partnership early, a speaking role may also be available.
