Educational Grants and Exhibit Opportunities

We have been very pleased with the overwhelming enthusiasm from the Aspergillus community for the 2004 meeting in San Francisco and the 2006 meeting in Athens, Greece. This next meeting in 2008 in Miami promises to be an even greater success as a major collaborative meeting designed to highlight the latest advances, pose the future questions, and forge new collaborations.

We are asking for your financial support of the 2008 Advances Against Aspergillosis conference. The conference will offer educational grant opportunities at various levels of support. In addition, due to the great success in 2004 and 2006, we will once again organize several Satellite Symposia.

Educational Grants

If your company or foundation is interested in providing an educational grant in support of the Advances Against Aspergillosis conference, please contact Co-Chairman William J. Steinbach, MD, at stein022@mc.duke.edu.

Exhibit Space

Exhibit space is available for a fee of $1,800 (per table). If you are interested in exhibiting at the conference, pleaseemail the conference organizer, Cheryl Featherstone, at cfeather@ucsd.edu for further information.

Satellite Symposia

Separate grant support for satellite symposia is available for Platinum, Gold, and Silver level supporters.

The Advances Against Aspergillosis Scientific Committee is responsible for the development of all content, including the selection of speakers and topics.

CME is required for all satellite symposia. The University of California, San Diego Continuing Medical Education (UCSD CME) can assist with accreditation. Please email the conference organizer, Cheryl Featherstone, at cfeather@ucsd.edu for further information. UCSD CME can also provide additional services, such as registration. 

Satellite Symposia are open to all registrants of the conference. The supporting company may set a maximum attendance, if desired.

The Advances Against Aspergillosis conference organizer may provide the conference attendee mailing list for Satellite Symposia advertising. The attendee list is for one-time use. All marketing materials need to be reviewed and approved by the conference organizers, prior to distribution, and be in compliance with all ACCME rules and regulations.  Please contact Cheryl Featherstone at cfeather@ucsd.edu for further information.

Satellite Symposia will be advertised in any subsequent Advances Against Aspergillosis conference brochures, as well as on the conference website, but no additional specific advertising will be done by the conference organizer.
