Sponsor & Exhibitor Opportunities: Connect with the Cell Therapy Community

The cell therapy community thrives on collaboration. Breakthroughs occur when researchers, clinicians, regulators, and industry leaders come together in open dialogue. Sponsorship and exhibition opportunities at this meeting are designed to create meaningful points of connection—where your organization’s expertise, tools, or services can be shared in ways that inform, inspire, and support progress.

This page explains why partnering with the meeting matters, the kinds of opportunities available, how integrity is safeguarded, and how to begin the process. More than a transactional arrangement, sponsorship and exhibition are invitations to join a living network that shapes the future of science and care.

Why Partner with This Meeting

Partnership is about visibility, but it is also about belonging. When you align your organization with the meeting, you demonstrate a commitment to advancing knowledge, supporting collaboration, and improving patient outcomes.

Audience Profile

The meeting attracts a broad and engaged audience:

Researchers: Basic scientists exploring cellular mechanisms, translational investigators working at the interface of bench and bedside, and applied researchers refining manufacturing and analytics.
Clinicians: Physicians, nurses, and allied health professionals who integrate scientific discovery into patient care, trial design, and practice-based insights.
Regulators: Decision-makers and policy experts who oversee safety, efficacy, and compliance, bringing invaluable perspective on what it takes to translate discovery responsibly.
Industry Representatives: Biotech and biopharma innovators, manufacturers, service providers, and strategic partners looking for collaborative opportunities.
Trainees and Students: Early-career professionals eager to learn, network, and engage with potential mentors or employers.

The diversity of this audience ensures that sponsors and exhibitors connect not only with current leaders but also with the next generation of innovators.

Engagement Moments

Partnership opportunities are integrated across the program to maximize authentic engagement:

Plenary and Breakout Sessions: Visibility near scientific content ensures that your presence aligns with learning.
Poster Hall & ePosters: Many participants spend extended time browsing abstracts; positioning nearby encourages casual discovery of your booth or showcase.
Networking Opportunities: Breaks, forums, and thematic discussions give space for introductions and follow-up conversations.
Virtual Venue Navigation: The online design makes exhibitors and sponsors discoverable from the Virtual Venue Guide, keeping your presence in sight throughout the event.

By partnering, your organization is seen not just as a vendor but as part of the community’s ongoing dialogue.

Opportunities in Words

Sponsorship and exhibition take several descriptive forms, each designed to match engagement style with participant needs. These are opportunities in concept, not prescriptive packages—your presence is shaped collaboratively.

Virtual Booth

A booth serves as your anchor space in the exhibit hall. It allows participants to:

Browse background materials and case studies.
Learn about tools, services, or collaborations.
Connect directly with representatives for questions or scheduled conversations.

The virtual booth is more than a static display—it is a living hub for introductions, knowledge sharing, and relationship building.

Theatre Talk

Theatre-style presentations give exhibitors an opportunity to share perspectives in a semi-formal format. These are not promotional pitches but structured learning opportunities that showcase expertise.

Examples include:

A demonstration of an innovative manufacturing technique.
A case study highlighting collaboration between industry and academia.
An overview of lessons learned from scaling a therapy pipeline.

Theatre talks position your organization as a thought partner, offering content that complements the scientific sessions described in the Program Overview.

Learning Grant

Supporting education through a learning grant is a way to expand access. Grants help offset barriers for trainees or underrepresented groups, ensuring broader participation.

This opportunity is less about visibility and more about impact. By providing learning support, organizations demonstrate tangible commitment to community equity and professional development.

Networking Support

Engagement is most powerful when informal. By supporting structured Networking & Partnering opportunities—such as small-group discussions or facilitated forums—sponsors contribute to the human side of science. Your support ensures participants have space to meet, share, and collaborate across sectors.

Each of these opportunities aligns your organization with moments of authentic engagement, where conversations are about learning and collaboration rather than marketing.

Scientific Integrity & Compliance

Partnership does not compromise the integrity of the meeting. Safeguards ensure that sponsorship and exhibition remain supportive of science, not directive.

No Claims

Sponsors and exhibitors may describe tools, services, or collaborations, but they must not make unverified scientific or clinical claims. Content should be factual, transparent, and respectful of the evidence base.

Fair Balance

When a theatre talk or booth highlights a particular approach, the framing must acknowledge context and limitations. The goal is education and dialogue, not persuasion.

Independence of Program Content

Scientific sessions—plenary, breakout, workshop, poster, or otherwise—are curated independently by scientific chairs (see Speakers & Chairs). Sponsorship does not influence topic selection, data interpretation, or conclusions.

Transparency

Disclosures of potential conflicts of interest are expected, ensuring participants can evaluate content with full context.

Respectful Engagement

Exhibitors are partners in dialogue, not competitors for attention. Ethical guidelines emphasize professionalism, inclusivity, and respect for attendees’ time.

These compliance principles protect the reputation of both the meeting and its partners, ensuring that collaboration strengthens science rather than undermining it.

How to Get Started

Engaging as a sponsor or exhibitor is a straightforward process focused on clarity and collaboration.

Reflect on Goals: Consider whether your priority is visibility, thought leadership, education, or networking support. Clarity of intent shapes the right opportunity.
Review Opportunities: Explore the descriptive opportunities outlined above—virtual booth, theatre talk, learning grant, or networking support. Each aligns differently with engagement goals.
Reach Out: Use the Contact page to share your interest. Include a brief note about your objectives and the type of opportunity that resonates.
Collaborative Planning: A program coordinator will connect with you to discuss options, answer questions, and ensure your participation aligns with program integrity.

Engage During the Meeting: Be active in your booth, deliver theatre talks with clarity, and support networking with authenticity. Focus on dialogue and relationship building.
Sustain After the Meeting: Partnerships continue beyond the event. Follow up with connections, share learning resources, and maintain dialogue with new collaborators.

Getting started is not about selecting a package—it is about starting a conversation about how your organization can contribute to and benefit from being part of the cell therapy community.

Closing

Sponsorship and exhibition are about more than logos and visibility. They are about joining a community that is advancing some of the most promising areas of science and medicine. By supporting this meeting, your organization contributes to knowledge exchange, education, and collaboration.

Whether through a booth, a theatre talk, a learning grant, or networking support, your presence is a catalyst for connection. At the same time, compliance principles ensure that scientific integrity remains at the center, protecting the trust that underpins the community.
