PARTICIPATION OPTIONS INCLUDE:

Complimentary passes are provided for qualified institutional (buy/sell-side), private equity and venture investors. The number of passes is limited, and priority is given to regular participants, however the organiser has the discretion to reject registrations. Other participants may consider purchasing access, which includes in-person or virtual participation, with different options to showcase your company. 

NETWORKING OPPORTUNITIES:

The Online Meeting System will open on the 6th of September for uploading profiles and sending meeting invites. The in-person meetings will be taking place on the 20th of September, while virtual meetings will take place on the 26th - 30th of September. For the virtual meetings, the system will allow you to have a secure audio/video call, as well as an option to present slides using a screen share function and we will have a dedicated room for in-person meetings. 

PRESENTING OPPORTUNITIES:

Presentations are a popular and useful way to gain additional exposure with potential investors and pharma partners, which make up over half the audience. We are pleased to announce that once again we will have 20-minute and 10-minute presentations taking place in-person at the dedicated presenting tracks. Here you will be able to showcase your company in front of investors attending the physical event. The recording will be added to your company’s profile later, which will be available on demand for registered participants until the event portal closes.  

For those who are not able to present in-person, but are still interested to showcase their company, there is an option to purchase either a 20 or 10 minute presentation, which will be pre-recorded in advance and available to all registered attendees during the virtual conference week on the event’s portal. Start-up companies, which are looking for seed financing are also offered an option to make a 5-minute pre-recorded showcase instead.  

The Sachs Team can assist with the pre-recording of the presentation, or you can upload a video you already have. Interested viewers will be able to message or request a meeting with you using the Online Meeting System.

EXHIBITION OPPORTUNITIES:

Make connections, engage in conversation, and exchange knowledge with key decision-makers eager to learn how your company can help them meet their goals and achieve their mission. Exhibiting at Sachs Autumn Life Sciences Week is an effective way to gain leads, introduce new products and services, expand sales, and build relationships. 

If attending the physical event, we have a limited number (limited to 6 companies) of table-top exhibitions available at the venue, which would be located at the main foyer, next to the plenary room, where we have the highest attendee traffic.  

For those who are not able to join the event or exhibit in-person, you could choose virtual exhibition package, which includes a dedicated virtual page, where we can: upload your branded company’s profile and list ways to reach you; share video or images about services you provide and have files ready for download, if you wish to share any additional information with potential clients. 

If interested in learning more about exhibition options, please fill in the registration form.

SPONSORING OPPORTUNITIES:

There are a limited number of sponsorship opportunities for the forum, which includes speaking, advertising, and branding options.
