Sponsors

The support of sponsors enables us to offer more to conference delegates than would otherwise be possible.

Why sponsor?

Sponsorship at this event offers you the following benefits:

• We hope that the 2010 conference will attract more delegates from a wider range of industries then ever before. Therefore you will be able to promote yourself to people from a large variety of professions.
• Sponsorship builds relationships and develops brand identity.
• Extensive pre-conference mailings and advertisements promote your organisation to a wide audience.
• Receive company recognition on our website, in the conference programme and on conference displays.
• Enhance your image and position within the community.
• Display your marketing materials to all conference delegates.
• Write an article for publication in the Institute's newsletter, 'The Ergonomist'.

Sponsorship opportunities

There are a number of opportunities for which we are currently seeking sponsorship.

Welcome Reception This reception is held in the bar on the first evening of the conference, Monday 12th April. The Institute's AGM will also held on this evening. This is an opportunity for delegates to meet old acquaintances and make new friends for those arriving alone. The cost covers wine and fruit juice, and, depending on numbers attending, is approximately £400 to £500.

Quiz Night This item in the programme is a highlight of the conference and is very well attended. Teams battle against each other through question and answer rounds and a one off challenge of their ingenuity. The evening often has a theme, with such titles as "I'm an Ergonomist - get me out of here" or "Universally challenged". We are seeking sponsorship for items that might be needed for teams to use during the evening, for prizes and for drinks. This could cost in the region of £800.

Conference bags A great, long-lasting way to advertise yourself! The cost of the printed bags will depend on the style of bag available, the number of colours in the logo, and definition of the company logo. This year they will be two colour on both sides of the bag. The approximate cost is £800.

Annual Dinner Drinks Reception An opportunity exists for someone to sponsor the Annual Dinner Reception. This is a smart and very enjoyable social networking occasion. The estimated cost depending on the number of guests is £500.

Exhibitors' reception On the first day of the conference after the exhibitors have set up, there will be a drinks reception. All the delegates will gather in the Exhibition Hall to visit the exhibition stands. The cost of this reception is approximately £600.

Stationery items Miscellaneous items of stationery such as pens, rulers, writing pads, etc., can be printed and distributed with your logo. The cost can be approximately £150 - £200.

All prices quoted are ex VAT and are subject to change in quantity and variation.
