Industry Supported Satellite Symposium ($50,000-$70,000*)

Only exhibiting companies are eligible to hold a satellite symposium. The supporting company is responsible for the actions of its  employees and agents. Follow the guidelines to avoid forfeiture of exhibit and registration privileges, loss of priority points, or other sanctions. IDWeek requires that satellite symposia provide CME credit for their programs. Sponsoring companies will need to obtain credit from an accredited CME or CE provider. IDWeek does not provide continuing medical education (CME) or continuing education (CE) credit for satellite symposia and other affiliated events.

*All listed prices include a $5,000 refundable deposit, if the meeting space is left in good order; all boxes, literature, podium markers, signs, audio visual contracted outside IDWeek, and any other items related to the event must be removed from the meeting space no more than one hour following the event. Also, any signage, directional, literature, and other items related to the event outside the meeting space, but within the convention center and official hotels, must be removed no more than one hour following the event.  Failure to do so will result in the loss of the deposit.  A representative from IDWeek will inspect the areas and space of the event.  If the space is deemed in good order, the deposit will be issued. For help planning to ship materials post event, please contact Dana Johnston djohnston@idsociety.org.
