ISBER CORPORATE OPPORTUNITIES GUIDE

REGIONAL MEETING

ISBER is the only global forum that addresses harmonization of scientific, technical, legal, and ethical issues relevant to repositories of biological and environmental specimens. ISBER is a global organization which creates opportunities for sharing ideas and innovations in biobanking and harmonizes approaches to evolving challenges for biological and environmental repositories. ISBER fosters collaboration, creates education and training opportunities, provides an international showcase for state-of-the-art policies, processes, and research findings, and innovative technologies, products, and services. Together, these activities promote best practices that cut across the broad range of repositories that ISBER serves.

Meeting OverviewIn an active effort to focus on the diverse geographical background of its members ISBER has established a Regional Meeting. These meetings will feature excellent technical programs on a variety of topics, poster sessions, expositions, and social events. The smaller size of the ISBER Regional Meeting will allow for greater opportunity for interactions between attendees and a focus on regional issues. Over 300 delegates and exhibitors are expected to attend.

The ISBER Regional Meeting 2019 will be held in Minneapolis, USA at the Renaissance Minneapolis Hotel, the Depot, November 4-5, 2019.

We look forward to seeing you in Minneapolis!

Symposia and Workshop Guidelines

• Acceptance of a sponsored symposium or workshop topic does not imply in any way ISBER endorsement of the program and/or materials.

• It is the responsibility of the Host Company to provide moderators, chairs for introductions, or speakers for any sponsored symposium or workshop.

• Sponsored symposium or workshop planning efforts including set-up, food and beverage, audiovisual and other arrangements, will be made through the ISBER Meeting Manager, unless other arrangements are agreed upon to allow the sponsors to deal directly with the Hotel staff. In the case of the latter, the ISBER Meeting Manager must be kept informed of all communication between sponsors and Hotel staff. If meeting staff is required on-site, Company will be billed at a rate not to exceed $75/hour/person.

• ISBER does not guarantee attendance (as set by the Hotel). The recommended attendance numbers are non-negotiable (as based on past attendance patterns and attendance estimates from the previous years).

• ISBER will include the title and a brief description of the Symposium/Workshop in the Final Program.

• ISBER will not provide promotion or registration services for any Symposium/Workshop, other than publication of the title and a brief description of the symposia/workshop in the Final Program.

• ISBER will assist with on-site traffic flow and logistics for Symposia/Workshop.

• ISBER will provide a list of registered conference delegates (including Name, Institution and State) to Sponsor contact person prior to the Conference.

• Host Companies or their designates will not use “ISBER”, “ISBER Regional Conference”, or ISBER’s respective logos on any announcement, sign, publication, audio-visual product or other promotional materials without permission of ISBER.

• No audio or video taping without consent of the ISBER may be used; all approved audio and/or videotaping must be disclosed in the program to the audience.

• Host companies will refrain from posting promotional signs in hotel lobbies without permission of ISBER; placing promotional material under the doors (or door drops of any kind) of hotel guests is not permitted.

• Host companies will keep any food and beverage service as a secondary element in organizing and publicizing the Symposium/Workshop.
