IMPORTANT NOTE

ISTH recognizes that the legal and regulatory environ-

ments change constantly and that different companies

may interpret regulations related to exhibiting at and

supporting medical meetings differently. What is deemed

acceptable to support may differ greatly among compa-

nies, also, but not only, depending on the type of com-

pany and where the company is based. When developing

the support options for this congress, ISTH has reviewed

and taken into consideration the applicable laws, CME

requirements and regulatory guidance from internatio-

nal, regional and national (country of the congress) or-

ganizations but recognizes that whether certain offerings

may be supportable may not be interpreted uniformly.

Therefore some items may be included in this prospec-

tus that are not deemed appropriate by all companies.

If you have an idea for a service, sponsorship or promo-

tional option not included in this manual, please con-

tact the ISTH Executive Director. We are always happy

to discuss opportunities that are in accordance with ap-

plicable regulatory and accreditation requirements and

provide benefits to our delegates, industry partners and

the ISTH.

All supporters of individual sponsorship opportunities

will be acknowledged in the list of ISTH 2017 suppor-

ters in the Final Program and the ISTH 2017 congress

website (in accordance with prevailing CME guidelines).

Unless otherwise indicated, all amounts specified in this

document are in Euros (€) and exclusive of federal or

local taxes that may apply.

1. Sponsored Symposia

ISTH 2017 attendees are looking to be up-to-date with the

latest information on products, scientific developments and

solutions for their daily laboratory or clinical practice.

Our congress program offers several time slots of varying

length and in varying room sizes for companies or organiza-

tions interested to inform ISTH 2017 attendees about their

latest research, product developments or other scientific

activities to organize sponsored symposia.

Sponsored symposia are organized by the sponsor or desig-

nated agent. The program must be scientific or educational

in scope. CME accreditation will not be provided through

the congress, is not required but may be obtained at the

discretion and at the cost of the sponsor.

The sponsor is required to adhere to the official rules for

speakers and chairpersons

( page 25 )

at sponsored symposia

and inform the ISTH 2017 Organizers of the content, format

and speakers and obtain formal approval for the program.

All sponsored symposia must be held at the Messe Berlin/

The City Cube Berlin during the official time slots offered by

ISTH in this sales manual or otherwise determined. Organi-

zers of sponsored symposia held outside the venue and not

during an official ISTH slot will face penalties to be decided

by the ISTH 2017 Organizers. These can include financial

fines equivalent to a symposium cost and/or exclusion to

participate at future ISTH meetings.

Content of sponsored symposia must comply with any

relevant guidelines applicable to the sponsor, be held in

English and be open to all delegates. It is the sponsor’s

responsibility to interpret and comply with all applicable

regulations or guidelines.
