 [ i ] Participant passes enable entrance to all open meetings and the social events. They also enable you to have lunch and coffee breaks.

 [ ii ] The basic booths are 3m x 3m with one table and two chairs and your organisation name and logo on fascia. It is also possible to get larger booths for an additional cost which will be quoted once your request is provided to the ICA. Booths will be located in the lunch and break hall to enable the greatest visibility and networking and will be guarded by security at all times. They will only be open during lunch and break hours, unless you wish to staff your booth at all times. The cost of build up and take down of the basic booth is included in the sponsorship package.

 [ iii ] Your organisation will be formally thanked at a formal gathering during the conference.

 [ iv ] There are eleven pillars running along the main hall which all delegates must walk down in order to get to the main sessions and lunch area. You can put a normal or wrap-around banner on the pillar. The price of the  banner would be an additional cost. Please request a brochure for the sizing and costs.
